Data are given as means ± SD. Gene expression data are given in fg mRNA (or rRNA)/μg total RNA. Statistical analysis was performed after ln-transformation of the data. P 1: unadjusted values (Student’s t-test); P 2: values after adjustment (multiple linear regression analysis): BMI, body fat, and waist-hip ratio were adjusted for age; plasma glucose concentrations were adjusted for age and body fat.
