Subjects were ranked based on fasting plasma glucose concentration. The plasma glucose concentrations at 0 min (fasting) and 120 min (G120) after an oral glucose tolerance test were used to categorize the subjects to have normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Gender, age and body mass index (BMI) are also listed.
