No correlations were observed between alcohol-induced changes in fetuin-A andcorresponding changes in the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) (ρ = 0.01, p = 0.95;ρ = 0.25, p = 0.26; ρ = 0.20,p = 0.24) or changes in adiponectin (ρ = 0.22,p = 0.31; ρ = 0.17,p = 0.44; ρ = 0.25, p = 0.15)among young men, pre- or postmenopausal women, respectively. Here, AHSG is linked to Insulin resistance.
