ADIPOQ and Obesity: In Table 3, after excluding the highly homogenous and markedly correlated variables (i.e., ALT and γ-GT in non-obesity group; BW, BMI, WHR, AST, ALT, γ-GT, and systolic blood pressure in obesity group), we adjusted for potential confounding factors (i.e., WHtR, hsCRP, triglyceride, TNF-α, and M30 in the non-obesity group and WHtR, DBP, uric acid, HDL, adiponectin, and M30 in the obesity group); see Table 3.
