All data are expressed as mean ± SD (standard deviation). Significance is relative to the trend. BMI: body mass index; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; F: female; GlcT0': fasting glucose; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; IFG: impaired fasting glucose; IGT: impaired glucose tolerance; InsT0': fasting insulin; ISI: insulin sensitivity index; Hp: haptoglobin; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; M: male; ns: not significant; P: pubertal; PP: prepubertal; QUICKI: Quantitative Insulin-Sensitivity Check Index; SBP: systolic blood pressure.
