In our study, the correlation analysis revealed notable relevance of both elevated AHR (r = 0.6188, ***P < 0.0001, Pearson analysis) and RORC (r = 0.2541, *P = 0.0289, Pearson analysis) (relative to GAPDH) mRNA expression to increased insulin resistance (Figure 4). The gene discussed is AHR; the disease is Insulin resistance.
