Table 4. Association between Vastus Lateralis Lipid and Fatty Acid Saturation and Serum Glucose Concentration.
Variable | Serum glucose concentration, mmol/L | |
---|---|---|
βa (95% CI) | P value | |
Muscle cell area, AU | 0.00 (<0.00 to >0.00) | 0.377 |
IMCL area, AU | 0.00 (−0.02 to 0.02) | 0.906 |
% IMCL in muscle cell | 2.57 (−38.98 to 44.12) | 0.880 |
SFA:UFA | 166.01 (−2.95 to 334.97) | 0.053 |
All estimates are adjusted for age and sex.
CI, confidence interval; AU, arbitrary unit; IMCL, intramyocellular lipid; SFA, saturated fatty acid; UFA, unsaturated fatty acid.
