The ± values are means ± SD. Si-clamp had 203 subjects (103 black, 100 white). To convert the values for glucose to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0555. To convert the values for insulin to picomoles per liter, multiply by 7.175. To convert the values for triglycerides to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.01129. To convert the values for cholesterol to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.02586.
