Table 2. A full factorial model of ANCOVA to adjust the effect of age, BMI and adiponectin on CTRP13 plasma levels in healthy controls, T2DM, NAFLD and NAFLD+T2DM patients.

(I) Group	(J) Group	Mean Difference (I-J)	Std. Error	Sig.^b	95% Confidence Interval for Difference^b
(I) Group	(J) Group	Mean Difference (I-J)	Std. Error	Sig.^b	Lower Bound	Upper Bound
HC	T2DM	.711	.344	.252	-.220	1.641
	NAFLD	1.168^*	.366	.012	.178	2.159
	NAFLD+T2DM	1.520^*	.371	.001	.515	2.526

*. The mean difference is significant at the 0.05 level.

b. Adjustment for multiple comparisons: Bonferroni.
