  1. Data are mean ± SEM. BMI: body mass index, HOMA index: homeostasis model assessment index. Comparison of high degree insulin resistant (OB/H-IR) and low degree insulin resistant (OB/L-IR) obese subjects versus controls was assessed by ANOVA test. Groups with different letters showed significant differences.
