aAll six insulinized subjects from DM group were excluded from analysis. DM: diabetes mellitus; DPP4: dipeptidyl peptidase 4; BMI: body mass index; BAI: body adiposity index; WC: waist circumference; HC: hip circumference; WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment to quantify insulin resistance; QUICKI: quantitative insulin sensitivity check index; SHBG: sex hormone-binding globulin; THR: triglycerides-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; GLP-1: glucagon-like peptide-1; GIP: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; TG: triglycerides. |
