| HOMA-IR | Insulin | GGT | Total cholesterol | LDL-C | HDL-C | Triglyceride | AST | ALT | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adropin | r | −0.241 | −0.233 | −0.271 | −0.229 | −0.215 | 0.152 | −0.302 | −0.145 | −0.63 |

r, correlation coefficient;p, significance; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model of assessment-insulin resistance.
