hsCRP (mg/L)	F	0.41 ± 0.09^a	0.44 ± 0.07	0.67 ± 0.08^a
IL 6 (pg/ml)	M	1.41 ± 0.17	2.11 ± 0.25	1.94 ± 0.39
IL 6 (pg/ml)	F	1.71 ± 0.13	1.89 ± 0.14	2.5 ± 0.26
Adiponectin (μg/ml)	M	5.82 ± 0.48	4.05 ± 0.5	4.29 ± 0.82
Adiponectin (μg/ml)	F	8.26 ± 0.78^a	7.17 ± 0.85^b	3.74 ± 0.42^c,d

Data are represented as mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.005 when the two genders are compared. ^cP < 0.005 when compared with corresponding normoglycemic group, ^dP < 0.05 when compared IFG group.
