Table 2. Comparison of characteristics between different groups in human adjusted for age. Analysis of covariance was carried out to compare the difference between the four groups in human adjusted for age. Log10 transformed FINS, FPG, HOMA-IR, and TG were used for statistical analysis. ARSIN transformed WHR of BF, COS transformed WHR and SQRT transformed BMI were used for statistical analysis. bP<0.05, cP<0.01 vs group C. eP<0.05, fP<0.01 vs group L. hP<0.05, iP<0.01 vs group M.
