Serum biochemical outcomes

	Normal weight	Obese
Glucose (mmol/l)	4.61 ± 0.33	4.66 ± 0.39
Insulin (pmol/l)	47.71 ± 40.63	162.58 ± 338.99
HOMA_IR	1.41 ± 0.09	4.99 ± 4.29
Triglycerides (mmol/l)	0.81 ± 0.35	1.27 ± 0.67
Cholesterol (mmol/l)	4.12 ± 0.70	4.95 ± 1.86
HDL (mmol/l)	1.25 ± 0.27	1.23 ± 0.35
LDL (mmol/l)	2.38 ± 0.64	3.23 ± 1.68
CRP (nmol/l)	7.05 ± 12.57	30.86 ± 46.57

All measures obtained after overnight fast. All outcomes except glucose and HDL differed (P < 0.05) between the two groups.CRP, C-reactive protein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
