TABLE 3.

Partial correlations (r) of fasting and postprandial markers of inflammation (MOI) with regional adiposity, adjusted for total body fat¹

	Fasting MOI²			Postprandial MOI³
Adipose measure	CRP	IL-6	sTNF-R2	CRP	IL-6	sTNF-R2
TAAT	0.10	0.16	0.09	−0.23	−0.15	−0.36⁴
IAAT	0.19	0.08	0.11	−0.27⁵	−0.20	−0.37⁴
SAAT	0.03	0.17	0.08	−0.14	−0.10	−0.30⁶

CRP, C-reactive protein; IL-6, interleukin-6; sTNF-R2, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor type 2; TAAT, total abdominal adipose tissue; IAAT, intraabdominal adipose tissue; SAAT, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue. Statistical analyses were performed on log-transformed data for fasting CRP, fasting IL-6, fasting sTNF-R2, TAAT, IAAT, and SAAT.

n = 52, 56, and 54 for CRP, IL-6, and sTNF-R2, respectively.

n = 52, 52, and 57 for CRP, IL-6, and sTNF-R2, respectively.
