  1. # Plasma albumin changed (p < 0.05) during the clamp because of increase in blood volume due to fluid infusion. Therefore, all plasma parameters are corrected for changes in plasma albumin concentration and presented as mean ± SEM
  2. a Significant change (P < 0.05) in response to insulin
  3. b Significant difference between type 2 diabetic patients and BMI-matched controls in response to insulin
  4. c Significant change (P < 0.05) effect of rosiglitazone treatment on the response to insulin in type 2 diabetic patients
