Associations between changes (baseline minus day 14 BR values) in adipokines, cytokines and anthropometric parameters in young and older adults
| Study group | ||
|---|---|---|
| Δ MM | Δ FM | |
| Δ Adiponectin | ||
| Young | −0.428 | 0.689* |
| Older adults | −0.104 | 0.184 |
| Δ Visfatin | ||
| Young | −0.270 | 0.015 |
| Older adults | −0.050 | 0.070 |
| Δ Resistin | ||
| Young | −0.160 | 0.149 |
| Older adults | −0.027 | 0.023 |
| Δ TNF-α | ||
| Young | −0.598* | 0.420* |
| Older adults | −0.345* | 0.311* |
| Δ IL-6 | ||
| Young | 0.002 | 0.102 |
| Older adults | 0.050 | −0.024 |
N = 7 (young); N = 16 (older adults). Associations between relative changes in adipokines, cytokines and anthropometric parameters were performed using Pearson’s correlation analysis
MM muscle mass, FM fat mass, TNF tumour necrosis factor, IL-6 interleukin 6
