Correlation between the first-phase of insulin secretion and postprandial lipidemia in all subjects studied (n=32)

Variables	All patients (n=32)		Healthy (n=10)		IGT+reduced FPIS (n=8)		IGT+preserved FPIS (n=14)
	AUC insulin 0’−10’ (µIU/mL/min)
	rho	p	rho	p	rho	p	rho	p
AUC fatty acids mmol/L/min 480’	0.36	0.04	0.35	0.31	0.76	0.02	0.51	0.05
AUC TG 480’ (mg/dL/min)	−0.42	0.01	−0.46	0.17	0.28	0.49	−0.46	0.09

AUC, area under the curve; FPIS, first-phase insulin secretion; IGT, impaired glucose tolerance; TG, triglyceride.
