HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance; GLP-1 AUC (area under the curve for GLP-1); HbA_1c: glycated hemoglobin A1c; sBP: systolic blood pressure; dBP: diastolic blood pressure; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein. *p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
