Adipokines in individual groups

	IBD group (n=75)	CD group (n=44)	UC group (n=31)	healthy controls (n=20)
Adiponectin (μg/ml)	10.6 (8.2–13.3)*	11.1 (8.5–13.3)*	10.0 (7.8–13.3)*	12.8 (11.0–14.1)
Resistin (ng/ml)	6.3 (4.8–8.5)**	6.3 (5.1–8.4)*	6.1 (4.8–8.9)*	4.3 (3.0–5.7)
WISP-1 (pg/ml)	1296 (146–4286)**	2917 (740–5198)**#	373 (49–3004)	311 (38–1905)
RBP-4 (μg/ml)	37.0 (27.0–48.4)	37.6 (27.2–44.2)	35.2 (26.4–52.4)	42.9 (32.5–52.9)

IBD = inflammatory bowel disease; CD = Crohn’s disease; UC = ulcerative colitis; WISP-1 = Wnt1-inducible signaling pathway protein-1; RBP-4 = retinol-binding protein-4. Values are expressed as median and interquartile range (25–75 percentile). Significant differences of patients group versus controls:

^*p<0.05,

^**p<0.01,

^***p<0.001; or CD versus UC groups:

^#p<0.05 according to Mann-Whitney U test.
