Model 1: adjusted for gestational age, maternal age, and processing time. Model 2: Model 1 + BMI adjustment. Model 3: Model 1 + leptin adjustment. Bold: Statistically significant difference after correction for multiple testing (FDR = 0.2). β: β estimate; CI: 95% confidence interval. SFA: sum of 14:0, 16:0, and 18:0; MUFA: sum of 16:1, 18:1, and 22:1; n-3 PUFA: sum of 18:3, 20:3, 20:5, 22:5, and 22:6; n-6 PUFA: sum of 18:2, 18:3, 20:3, 20:4, 22:2, 22:4, and 22:5. An ln-transformed variable. Non-normally distributed variables were ln-transformed to meet the requirements of multivariate linear regression analysis. Each 1% increase in the predictor variable (C-peptide and ISHOMA) increases the outcome variable by 1/100 units of the estimate. For example, a 1% increase in C-peptide is associated with a 0.17 mg/L decrease in n-3 PUFA.
