Data are presented as . ^Data were log-transformed for statistical analysis but are presented as raw data for ease of interpretation. NGT = normal glucose tolerant; PD = prediabetes; HOMA-IR = homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance; GSIS = glucose-stimulated insulin secretion; DI = disposition index; HIC = hepatic insulin clearance. Unpaired two-tailed -test was utilized to determine group differences. Significance accepted at .
