TAG fatty acid association with tissue and diabetes/insulin sensitivity groups
| Compared groups | Fixed variable | Fatty acid | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR × T2DM | SC | C12:0 | 0.045 |
| SC | C18:3 | 0.048 | |
| OM | C12:0 | 0.016 | |
| (Full model) SC+OM | C12:0 | 0.025 | |
| IS × T2DM | OM | C12:0 | 0.03 |
| OM | C18:3 | 0.048 | |
| SC × OM | (Full model) IS+IR+T2DM | C18.3 | 0.027 |
Analysis conducted using the Wilcoxon sum of the ranks test indicates fatty acids that were overrepresented amongst hit TAGs when comparing the groups specified in column 1. Comparing IS, IR and T2DM was done in individual tissues as well as when pooling data from the two tissues. Similarly, tissues were compared per group and when groups were combined (column 2). Only significant results are shown at a nominal p value of 0.05
