HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance. * Differences between times were analyzed using the Friedman test, considering P < 0.05 to be significant. †x ± SEM (for all values). Differences between times were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, considering P < 0.05 to be significant. In each group, mean values within the same row with unlike superscript letters were significantly different. |
