ADIPOQ and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Likewise, the results of multiple logistic regression indicate that serum CTRP9 concentration was independently associated with the increased risk of CAD (OR [CI] = 1.018 [1.009–1.026]; p < 0.001), T2DM (OR [CI] = 1.015 [1.005–1.025]; p = 0.003) and CAD+T2DM (OR [CI] = 1.021 [1.012–1.031]; p < 0.001) after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, adiponectin, IL-6 and TNF-α (Table 2).
