A: Results of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA): left ventricular (LV) relative mRNA expressions of the three major glucose transporters are corrected for age, sex, and BMI according to study subgroups. The related P values are reported as model summary. Estimated marginal (EM) means are provided. To test intergroup differences, we report P values associated with bias-corrected and accelerated (BCa) 95% confidence intervals (CI) based on n = 1000 bootstrap samples, that are adjusted for multiple comparisons using Bonferroni correction

B: Results of partial correlation analysis on ranked scores: partial correlation coefficients (r) of LV relative mRNA expression of the three major glucose transporters and echocardiographic parameters are corrected for age, sex, and BMI. For all partial correlation coefficients, bias-corrected and accelerated (BCa) 95% confidence intervals (CI) are reported based on n = 1000 bootstrap samples
