Figure 2

Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and irisin of Chinese subjects categorized by central obesity (CO) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) according to the IDF worldwide definition (n = 112). There were significantly higher serum CRP (∗∗P < 0.01) and IL-6 levels (∗∗P < 0.01 and ∗∗∗P < 0.001), but lower irisin levels (∗P < 0.05 and ∗∗P < 0.01), in MetS versus non-MetS subjects. However, there was no significant difference in serum CRP, IL-6, and irisin levels between CO and non-CO, non-MetS cases.
