Baseline circulating levels of adipokines in MS-LF study groups. Bar with error bars represent the mean ± SD of levels of adiponectin (A), leptin (B), resistin (C), adipsin (D), PAI-1 (E) and visfatin (F) in the serum of study subjects. The levels of adiponectin and adipsin were estimated by Bio- Plex Pro Human Diabetes Adipsin and Adiponectin assay. Levels of leptin, resistin, PAI-1 and visfatin were estimated by Bio-Plex Pro Human Diabetes 10-Plex Assay. Statistical significance was determined by non- parametric Mann-Whitney U test and p<0.05 was considered significant. *p<0.05.
