P<0.05 using Wilcoxon ran sum test.

BMI = body mass index. F-PG = fasting plasma glucose. F-PI = fasting plasma insulin. F-C-pep = fasting plasma C-peptide. F-FFA = fasting free fatty acid. Stim = stimulation. Supp = suppression. iAUC = incremental area under the curve. Hepatic insulin resistance was divided by 1000 for data presentation. ISR = insulin secretion rate derived from deconvolution of plasma C-peptide. GIP = gastric inhibitory polypeptide. GLP-1 = glucagon-like polypeptide-1. Multiply ghrelin fmol/ml by 3.37 to get pg/ml. Gut hormone stimulation/suppression = Post-prandial (60 min) – Fasting (0 min). Gut hormone stimulation/suppression = Post-prandial (60 min) – Fasting (0 min).
