FFA: free fatty acids; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model of insulin resistance; Insulin was measured in the fed and fasted states, FFA and Leptin were measured in the fasted state only. HOMA-IR was calculated from fasted glucose and insulin. Data are mean ± SD

*p<0.05 to ZL, Student's t-test; n = 3 in fed state and n = 4–7 in fasted state per group.
