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.

aEstimates of adjusted regression coefficient between fasting serum glucose concentration with vastus lateralis lipid and fatty acid saturation (n=9).
