Associations of serum adiponectin concentrations with liver enzymes and liver fat content (LFC) as calculated by sex-specific quantile regression analyses. Presented is the predicted median together with its corresponding 95% confidence interval separately for men (blue, x2 axis) and women (red, x1 axis). Quantile regression models were adjusted for age, waist circumference, glycated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure, total triglycerides and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. *Magnetic resonance imaging examinations were performed in a subsample of 840 men and 895 women. ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AP, alkaline phosphatase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; GGT, gamma glutamyl transferase.
