Multivariate linear regression analysis of variables related with percentage of changes of OGTT-derived insulin-sensitivity Matsuda index, in obese non-diabetic men with metabolic syndrome with weight loss >5% (N = 27)
| Predictor (*percentage of changes) | Standardized coefficient β | p |
|---|---|---|
| Body mass index | 0.194 | 0.458 |
| Subcutaneous fat area | −0.673 | 0.006 |
| Abdominal visceral fat area | 0.030 | 0.877 |
| SIVG EAT thickness | −0.370 | 0.017 |
| Leptin | −0.269 | 0.065 |
Dependent variable: percentage changes of Matsuda index.
EAT: epicardial adipose tissue.
SIVG: superior interventricular groove.
OGTT-derived insulin-sensitivity index (Matsuda): 10,000⁄sqrt (FBG × FPI × G × I) where FPG is fasting glucose (mM), FPI is fasting insulin (μIU/ml), G is mean glucose (mM), I is mean insulin (μIU/ml) during the OGTT.
*Percentage of changes = (after - before)/before weight loss.
