a
Data are r-unadjusted Pearson correlation coefficients; P value represents the significance of the correlation
b
ns, non-significant correlation (P > 0.05); bold values indicate statistical significance, P<0.05. Adip, adiponectin; Cebpa, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-alpha; Lep, leptin; PGAT, perigonadal adipose tissue; Ppar, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma; SQAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; Vdr, vitamin D receptor.
