  1. Data are expressed as the means ± SD and variables were log-transformed prior to analysis; HOMA-B, homeostasis model assessment-beta; IGI60, insulinogenic index at 1 hour post-OGTT; I/GAUC 60–120, the ratio of area under the insulin curve to area under the glucose curve from 1 h to 2 h; I/G120, the ratio of insulin to glucose at 2 hour post-OGTT; ISI, insulin sensitivity index.
  2. aDifferences between the genotype groups (TT vs TC + CC for GCK, AACT carrier vs Non-carrier for INSR) were assessed by general linear models with adjustment for age, physical activity, smoking status, BMI, AST and tracking period.
  3. bDifferences among the genotype-alcohol consumption groups were assessed by general linear models with adjustment for age, physical activity, smoking status, BMI, AST and tracking period. Duncan post-hoc test was used to identify group differences (a: highest mean; c: lowest mean; a > b > c).
