Data represents Least Squares Means (95% CI). The significance of the change within each period under the Diet only Period and Diet and RYGB Period, respectively, whereas the significance of the change between periods is shown in the Between periods column.

AUC – area under the curve, ISR - Insulin secretion at 9.0 mmoL/L glucose from the dose-response, Glucose Sensitivity - mean slope of the dose-response in the observed glucose range, Rate Sensitivity – derivate component evaluating the dynamic dependence of insulin secretion on the rate of change of glucose concentration, 3-h Potentiation Ratio - ratio between the mean value in the intervals [160-180] and [0-20] min. Total ISR - integral of total insulin secretion, Clinsb - basal insulin clearance (basal insulin secretion/basal insulin), Clins - insulin clearance (insulin secretion AUC/insulin AUC), 2-h OGIS - oral glucose insulin sensitivity index (2-h equation), HOMA2-IR – homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance.

Rate Sensitivity was rank transformed prior to analysis; data reported as median and 95%CI.
