Laboratory measures drawn at 6 AM after a 12-h monitored inpatient fast. Data are presented as median and interquartile range (25%, 75%) or as mean ± standard deviation. Bolded values indicate P value of <0.05. ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; hs-CRP, highly selective C-reactive protein; T2D, type 2 diabetes.
