  1. HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HMW, high molecular weight. Data for fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and serum HMW adiponectin were skewed and presented as median (interquartile range) values. §HOMA-IR was calculated using the following formula; {fasting blood glucose (FBG) (mg/dL) X fasting insulin (mU/mL)}/405. Data for fasting blood glucose, immuno-reactive insulin, HOMA-IR, and serum HMW adiponectin were log-transformed for analysis. * Student's t-test or χ2 test.
