Orthogonal projection to latent structures (OPLS) loadings column plot of the association of total and high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin with plasma chemokines. OPLS models depicting the association of total (A) and HMW (B) adiponectin with plasma chemokines. X-variables represented by a bar pointing in the same direction as the y-variable (adiponectin) were associated with higher total or HMW adiponectin levels, whereas x-variables represented by a bar pointing in the opposite direction were related to lower total or HMW adiponectin. Only variables associated with plasma total/HMW adiponectin in the OPLS analysis were tested for significance with linear regression analyses. Abbreviations: HMW, high molecular weight; OPLS, orthogonal projection to latent structures.
