  1. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis
  2. In Model 1, independent variables included BCAA or BCKA; In Model 2, independent variables included age, gender and BCAA (or BCKA); In Model 3, independent variables included variables in Model 2 plus duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, HbA1c, TG, HDL-C, smoking status, drinking status, and HOMA-IR
  3. BMI Body mass index, WC waist circumference, TG triglyceride, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, VFA visceral fat area, SFA subcutaneous fat area, BCAA branched-chain amino acids, BCKA branched-chain keto acids
