In COPD patients plasma leptin levels were positively correlated with body mass index (A) and patient weight (B); plasma TNF-α levels were inversely correlated with plasma leptin levels (C) and positively correlated with plasma sICA M-1 levels (D). Correlations were determined using a Spearman rank correlation. P < 0.05 was statistically significant.
