- Data are given as means ± SEM. All p-values were corrected for differences in age GG, GA, and AA = TNF-α genotypes. * p-value after correction = not significant. The statistical analysis of total triglycerides and plasma insulin were performed on log-trasformed values, but the untrasformed values are given in table. Continuous variables were compared by t-test and categorical variables by Χ2 test.
