Comparison of adiposity, cholesterol and triglyceride values in women with low or high glutamate level. Results are presented as box-and-whisker plots; the box is the range between the lower (Q1) and upper (Q3) quartile, the horizontal line is the median (Q2), the cross sign (+) is the mean and the whiskers are the minimum and maximum. Women were considered as having a high glutamate level if it was ≥34.6 μmol/L (in grey) and low if it was less than 34.6 μmol/L (in white). P-values are from one-way ANOVA. FM fat mass, WC waist circumference, SAT subcutaneous adipose tissue, VAT visceral adipose tissue, LDL low-density lipoprotein, VLDL very-low-density lipoprotein, HDL high-density lipoprotein, TG triglycerides
