Fig. 5. Relationships between peak diameter of thigh adipocytes and metabolic fuel selection near energy balance, by sex.

Fig. 5.

Panel A-C-E. Relationships between peak diameter of the thigh adipocytes and residuals of 24-h respiratory quotient (panel A), carbohydrate oxidation (panel C), and lipid oxidation (panel E) in men.

Panel B-D-F. Relationships between peak diameter of the thigh adipocytes and residuals of 24-h respiratory quotient (panel B), carbohydrate oxidation (panel D), and lipid oxidation (panel F) in women.

Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) is reported along with its significance (p).

Linear regression analysis was used to calculate residuals of 24-h RQ after adjustment for age, race, body fat percentage and energy balance.

Linear regression analysis was used to calculate residuals of CARBOX and LIPOX after adjustment for age, race, fat mass, and fat-free mass.

RQ: respiratory quotient; CARBOX: carbohydrate oxidation; LIPOX: lipid oxidationThe results in panels 5B, 5D, and 5F were not significant when considering a Bonferroni-corrected threshold for significance.
