Fig. 4. Comparison of fasting and insulin-stimulated residual REE between 10 MHN and 10 MHS persons. Residual REE was higher in MHS than in MHN persons during insulin stimulation (*P = 0.013), even after exclusion of an MHN person from family number 2 (P = 0.022). Residual REE was not different between MHN and MHS persons in the fasting state (P = 0.1). Circles = MHN; triangles = MHS; open symbols = fasting; filled symbols = under insulin stimulation; continuous line = group mean (± SE). The figures beside the symbols represent the family numbers as they appear in table 1.
