Fuel use among NGT and PD.


	NGT	PD	value

Energy expenditure
REE (kcal/day)			0.92
REE (kcal/kg/day)			0.58
Fuel use
CHO_ox (mg/kg/min)			0.79
F_ox (mg/kg/min)			0.35
RER (a.u.)			0.29

Data are presented as . NGT = normal glucose tolerant; PD = prediabetes; REE = resting energy expenditure; CHO_ox = carbohydrate oxidation; F_ox = fat oxidation; RER = respiratory exchange ratio. Unpaired two-tailed -test was utilized to determine group differences. Significance accepted at .
