Effect of Adolescent Obesity on Cardiometabolic Risk in African-Americans and Caucasians
Figure 2
Frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test results in African-American and Caucasian adolescents. Insulin sensitivity index (, l mU−1 min−1); obese less than lean African-American and Caucasian combined , obesity race interaction . versus Caucasian lean, versus Caucasian overweight, and versus African-American obese. Multiple comparisons used Bonferroni correction. Error bars represent SE. Acute insulin response to glucose (AIRG, uU min ml−1). Lean gray; overweight open; obese solid. African-American significantly greater than Caucasian in all subjects, . No significant specific between group differences. Error bars represent SE.
