Table 6 Multiple regression analyses of association between insulin resistance and exercise capacity in ischemic (Panel A) and non-ischemic (Panel B) patients

From: Insulin levels and HOMA index are associated with exercise capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease

Panel A	logInsulin^$		logHOMA2-IR
VO_2peak (mL/kg/min)	β = -0.369^a	β = -0.190^b	β = -0.432^a	β = -0.315^b
VO_2peak (mL/kg/min)	p = 0.021	p = 0.325	p = 0.003	p = 0.079
Panel B
VO_2peak (mL/kg/min)	β = -0.205^a	β = -0.030^b	β = -0.289^c	β = -0.180^d
VO_2peak (mL/kg/min)	p = 0.075	p = 0.810	p = 0.005	p = 0.101

VO_2peak as dependent variable, and insulin and HOMA2-IR as independent variables. Adjusted for ^aage and gender, ^bage, gender and BMI, ^cage, gender and current smoking, ^dage, gender, current smoking and BMI.
^$ Patients on insulin treatment excluded.
