HOMA-IR = homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance; INSU0 = fasting plasma insulin; SUG0 = fasting blood glucose; LEPT = plasma leptin; DIAST = diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c = glycated haemoglobin; SUG2 = two-hour blood glucose; SYST = systolic blood pressure; TG = plasma triglycerides; VLDL = very-low-density lipoprotein; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; ALP = alkaline phosphatase; TSH = thyroid-stimulating hormone; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; Ig = immunoglobulin; HGH = human growth hormone; FT4 = free thyroxine.
