Table 2. Correlation of fasting glucagon with anthropometric and biochemical characteristics of Group A, Group B, and Group C.

*p-Value ≤0.05 is taken as significant.

BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin

Group A: Patients with normal glucose tolerance.

Group B: Patients with impaired glucose tolerance.
