Table 1.

Metabolites significantly (p < 5.8 × 10−5) associated with insulin secretion measured using hyperglycaemic clamps

Phenotype Metabolite β (SE) p
First-phase GSIS None
Second-phase GSIS PC aa C34:4 −0.308 (0.073) 2.46 × 10−5
PC aa C38.5 −0.023 (0.006) 3.23 × 10−5
PC aa C32:1 −0.027 (0.007) 3.34 × 10−5
GLP-1-SIS PC aa C34:4 −0.254 (0.060) 2.12 × 10−5
Arginine-SIS None
Disposition index None
Insulin sensitivity index None

β (SE) and p value were obtained from linear regressions (GEE)

Model: hyperglycaemic clamp phenotype ~ standardised metabolite level + age + sex + BMI + glucose tolerance status + insulin sensitivity (if relevant)
