Notes: Data are presented as deviation for normally distributed variables and median (interquartile range) for nonnormally distributed variables. values are from unpaired test or Mann-Whitney test. –21 normal-weight T2DM subjects, –32 overweight/obese T2DM subjects, –12 normal-weight PCOS subjects, –29 overweight/obese PCOS subjects. OGTT: oral glucose tolerance test; IAUC: insulin area under the curve.
