BMI did not correlate significantly with adiponectin in preseptic (r = 0.45, p = 0.05) and septic states (day one: r = −0.28, p = 0.16; day four: r = −0.33, p = 0.21), but did correlate significantly with plasma leptin levels at day four of sepsis (day zero: r = 0.24, p = 0.20; day one: r = 0.39, p = 0.08; day four: r = 0.83, p = 0.01). This evidence concerns the gene LEP and Sepsis.
