MANCOVA test with 1,000 stratified bootstrap samples, and bias corrected and accelerated (BCa) 95% CI was used for multiple testing bias corrections due to deviation of normality. The p-value was also adjusted for covariate ages with stratified ethnicity. The model included adiponectin and resistin levels as dependent variables, subjects as fixed factors, ages and ethnicity as covariates. Subjects were comprising of 208 controls, 171 T2DM without MS, 174 MS without T2DM, and 256 T2DM with MS. Significant levels: P* < 0.05, P** < 0.01, P*** < 0.001. Note: T2DM = type 2 diabetes; MS = metabolic syndrome.
