From: Metabolic inflexibility in women with PCOS is similar to women with type 2 diabetes
Comparison of metabolic flexibility between women with normal BMI, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and PCOS. Panel a: differences in basal and insulin stimulated RQs. Raw unadjusted values are presented but data was adjusted for age, race, and adiposity. Error bars are standard deviation. Differences in basal and insulin stimulated states from groups with no shared connecting letters are significantly different (p < 0.05) from one another. Panel b: differences in ΔRQ normalized by GDR. RQ = respiratory quotient, ΔRQ: metabolic flexibility, GDR: glucose disposal rate, PCOS: polycystic ovary syndrome, T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus. * = significant p < 0.05
