aA significant VIP was defined as VIP > 1. N, normal-weight group; O, obese group; NN, normal weight with traditional normal clinical plasma lipid levels; NA, normal weight with traditional abnormal clinical plasma lipid levels; ON, obese with traditional normal clinical plasma lipid levels; OA, obese with traditional abnormal clinical plasma lipid levels.
