Differences in insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism and inflammation between young adult Pakistani and Norwegian patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross sectional study

Table 2 Insulin sensitivity and NEFA suppression

Table 2: Data are presented as median (interquartile range), and comparisons are made using the Mann–Whitney U test. In bold: p < 0.05. GIR₄₀ = glucose infusion rate_{low step,} ISI₄₀ = glucose infusion rate/s-insulin_{low step}, GIR₄₀₀ = glucose infusion rate_{high step}, ISI₄₀₀ = glucose infusion rate/s-insulin_{high step}. GIR is expressed as μmol/m²/min, and ISI as 100 × μmol/m²/min/s-Ins. NEFA = non-esterified fatty acids. Number of Norwegians and Pakistanis were: during the low step, n = 19 and 16, respectively. During the high step, n = 19 and 14, respectively, and for NEFA measurements, n = 13 and 15, respectively.
