Adiponectin and leptin had lower values of AUC for MetS in comparison with A-FABP in premenopausal women (adiponectin AUC = 0.75 (0.62–0.88), P = 0.05; leptin AUC = 0.61 (0.48–0.74); and A-FABP AUC = 0.90 (0.84–0.96)), whereas adiponectin and leptin had higher values of AUC for MetS in comparison with A-FABP in postmenopausal women [adiponectin AUC = 0.72 (0.60–0.85); leptin AUC = 0.68 (0.55–0.81); and A-FABP AUC = 0.56 (0.43–0.69)] (data not shown in tables). This evidence concerns the gene LEP and metabolic syndrome.
