Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis with Ln insulin sensitivity index (ISI_OGTT) as dependent variable.

<p>Independent variables included in the model were pre-BMI, gestational age, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, SPARC, adiponectin, fasting proinsulin, hsCRP, WBC count and ALT. ^a Skewed distributions were logarithmically transformed for analysis. ISI_OGTT: insulin sensitivity index; hsCRP, hypersensitive C reaction protein; TG, triglyceride; SPARC, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine.
