Relationship between HOMA-IR, triglyceride levels, WBC levels, and BDNF in T2DM patients.

	Patient group
	r	P
BDNF and HOMA-IR	0.281	0.021 *
BDNF and triglyceride	0.265	0.019 *
BDNF and WBC	0.355	0.001 ***

Statistical significance: ^* P < 0.05, ^*** P < 0.001.

BDNF: brain-derived neurotrophic factor, HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, and WBC: white blood cell.
