Metabolic rates during the postprandial state without and with normalization of glucose level with exogenous insulin infusion.

*P values are from two-way ANOVAs with Scheffe's post-hoc test for difference between groups. Adjustment for gender or insulin sensitivity index did not abolish any of the group differences. Adjustment for age and BMI abolished group differences in glycerol level. Adjustment for waist circumference abolished group differences in NEFA, palmitate, oleate, linoleate, glycerol levels and appearance rate, and in net fatty acid oxidation.
CHOox: net carbohydrate oxidation rate; FATox: net fatty acid oxidation rate; FH−: no family history of type 2 diabetes; FH+: offspring of both parents with type 2 diabetes; NEFA: nonesterified fatty acids; PP: postprandial experimental protocol; PP/clamp: postprandial with insulin infusion experimental protocol; Raglycerol: glycerol appearance rate; T2D: subjects with type 2 diabetes; TG: triacylglycerol.
