A Pearson’s product-moment correlation was used to examine the relationship between the M-value and selected interesting hormones, lipids and cytokines.
*P<0.05 was considered significant.
FGF-21, Fibroblast Growth Factor-21; GH, growth hormone; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HS-CRP, high-sensitive C reactive protein; IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor-1; IGF-BP1, IGF-binding protein 1; IL, interleukin; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; MBL, mannose-binding lectin; NEFA, non-esterified fatty acid; PCV, pearson’s correlation value; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.
