Data are mean ± SD, n (%), or median (25th, 75th percentile). P values in the table represent the overall comparison between the three groups using ANOVA; n/s, not significant. Between-group differences are shown by:

aT2DM >lean and obese.

bT2DM and obese >lean.

cLean >T2DM and obese.

dLean and obese >T2DM.

eT2DM >obese >lean.
