IGF-1 index: the ratio of the measured IGF-1 value to the upper limit of normal (ULN); HOMA-IR: indicator of insulin resistance; ISOGTT: the OGTT insulin sensitivity index; HOMA-β: homeostatic model assessment of pancreatic beta-cell function; INS0: fasting plasma insulin; BG0: fasting plasma glucose; IGI: insulinogenic index; AUCBG: the areas under the curve of glucose; AUCINS: the areas under the curve of insulin; ISSI2: the OGTT insulin secretion sensitivity index-2. values are for variations before and after SSA treatment; versus the Deteriorated group; .
