Figure 1. Correlations between total desaturation indices and measures of adiposity or glucose metabolism.

Figure 1

r indicates Pearson's correlation coefficient, while rs indicates Spearman's correlation coefficient. *p<0.05, **p<0.01. The palmitoleic/palmitic index correlated with birth weight (A), but the oleic/stearic index did not (B). Both the palmitoleic/palmitic and oleic/stearic indices were positively associated with waist circumference (C and D). In relation to glucose concentrations, the palmitoleic/palmitic index was not related to glucose (E), but the oleic/stearic index positively correlated (F). Among Controls only, the palmitoleic/palmitic index trended toward a negative correlation with leptin (G), and a significant negative correlation with maternal prepregnancy BMI (H).
