Mean ± SD values are shown (even for non-normally distributed data). P values are calculated by using a paired sample t-test. Log transformation was applied if needed. FFA: Free fatty acids, HOMA-IR: Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance, GIP: glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, GLP-1: Glucagon-like peptide 1, REE: Resting energy expenditure, RQ: Respiratory quotient, sLEPR: soluble leptin receptor.
