Correlation between visfatin levels and peroxidase activity in two non-metabolic syndrome and metabolic groups

Biochemical factors	Groups	Spearman’s correlation with visfatin levels (mg/ml)	P
Peroxidase activity (mU/ml)	Non-MetS (n = 45)	0.094	0.581
	MetS with three components (n = 29)	0.769	0.001
	MetS with > 3 components (n = 16)	0.315	0.253
	MetS with hyperglycemia (n = 17)	−0.244	0.328
	MetS without hyperglycemia (n = 28)	0.189	0.345

P-values are significant P < 0.05; Spearman correlation was used; MetS: Metabolic syndrome
