By contrast, on day 2 of hospitalization, patients with both obesity and T2D had lower median LDH (302 vs. 328 U/L, p = 0.0058) and ferritin (567 vs. 725 ng/mL, p<0.0001), than those with obesity without T2D, but CRP was not significantly different. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
