  1. BMI body mass index
  2. aA p value of less than 0.05 demonstrates a significant difference in the distribution of genus group present according to obesity, diabetic and insulin resistance status. Fisher’s exact test employed as small numbers were present for each group (e.g. diabetic)
  3. bWhere concomitant fasting serum samples were available, fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels were identified. Using these values, we were able to calculate the HOMA-IR, according to the formula: the product of fasting insulin (μU/L) multiplied by fasting glucose (nmol/L) divided by 22.5. The 2nd tertile was used as the cut-off to determine insulin resistance status. Insulin resistance cut-off value, 2.98
