Figure 2

Insulin resistance as given by the glucose clamp and a short IVGTT. (A) The relationship between Mbw of the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp and a surrogate expression for insulin sensitivity based on the half-life of glucose and the area under the curve (AUC) for plasma insulin during a 75-min IVGTT in 20 volunteers. (B) Same equation but using only baseline plasma glucose and insulin concentrations. (C) Mbw versus insulin sensitivity obtained by "minimal model" (MINMOD) analysis.
