Pre-exercise training (closed symbols): Pearson correlations between plasma BCAA (μmol/l) levels and a IHL content (%), b peripheral insulin sensitivity expressed as the change in insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (ΔRd μmol kg−1 min−1), and c with the insulin-suppressed EGP (%). Post-exercise (open symbols): correlations between plasma BCAA levels and d IHL content, e peripheral insulin sensitivity, and f with insulin-suppressed EGP (%). Correlations based on the whole group including people with NAFL (dots, n = 7), T2DM (squares, n = 7), and CON (triangles, n = 7), however, due to technical differences only n = 6 T2DM and n = 6 NAFL were included for the association with ΔRd and insulin-suppressed EGP.
