Values are means ± SD. EU1, visit 1, basal euglycemia; EU2, visit 2, basal euglycemia; HG, visit 1, hyperglycemic clamp; HG—EU1, change from EU1 to HG; HG-HI, difference between HI and HG; HI, visit 2, matched hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp; HI—EU2, change from EU2 to HI; MI, myoinositol; P, P values from paired t tests between conditions, P values in bold < 0.05; TCr, total creatine (sum of creatine and phosphocreatine).
