Figure 5From: Advantages of the single delay model for the assessment of insulin sensitivity from the intravenous glucose tolerance testMean values and standard errors for the Insulin Sensitivity Indices from the Single Delay Model (K xgI ) and from the Minimal Model (S I ). For the KxgI the average values were computed both in the Full Sample and in the reduced Sub-Sample. The average values of the SI index over the Full Sample were out of scale for all four groups and could not be plotted. Black bar = KxgI in the Full Sample, white bar = SI in the reduced Sub-Sample, striped bar = KxgI in the reduced Sub-Sample. Post-Hoc analysis by LSD test: for the KxgI in the Full Sample the significant comparisons were 1 vs 3 (P = 0.001), 1 vs 4 (P < 0.001), 2 vs 4 (0.001) and 3 vs 4 (P = 0.047); for the KxgI in the reduced Sub-Sample the significant comparisons were: 1 vs 3 (P = 0.001), 1 vs 4 (p < 0.001), 2 vs 3 (P = 0.008), 2 vs 4 (P = 0.002); for the SI in the reduced Sub-Sample the significant comparisons were: 1 vs 3 (P = 0.019), 1 vs 4 (P = 0.001), 2 vs 4 (P = 0.016).Back to article page
