Fig. 1: Findings on serum glycerol and fatty acids (FA) during clamp.
From: A longitudinal study of the antilipolytic effect of insulin in women following bariatric surgery
A is absolute glycerol levels at −5 min (baseline) and 115 min (endpoint) of clamp as well as delta values (levels at −5 min subtracted by the value at 115 min). B is delta for fatty acid levels (115-min values subtracted from −5 min value, C is delta for fatty acid re-utilization calculated as in B. Values are mean and individual. Women before (OB, obese state) and after (PO, post-obese state) bariatric surgery were compared by paired t-test. Never obese women (NO) were compared with OB and PO by unpaired t-test. Only significant results are shown (p < 0.05). The mean ± SD values for delta glycerol (µmoles/l) were 67 ± 25, 71 ± 40, and 87 ± 41 in NO, OB, and PO, respectively.
