# denotes Non-Gaussian distribution; * denotes significance compared with 0 hour; ! denotes significance compared with 1; § denotes significance compared with 2; denotes significance compared with 3; denotes significance compared with 4; p significant at ≤0.05. Repeated measures ANOVA and Friedman’s two-way analysis of variance (for triglycerides, insulin, HOMA-IR and endotoxin) were the tests used (T2DM: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus; Overweight+: overweight/obese subjects referred to as overweight-plus; LDL: Low density lipoprotein; HDL: High density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR: Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance; ANOVA: analysis of Variance).
