Notably, CEC negatively correlated with indices of obesity (r =- 0.61, p < 0.001) and HOMA-IR (r = −0.72, p < 0.001), systolic and diastolic BP (r = −0.41, p = 0.011 and r = −0.34, p = 0.042, respectively), total triglycerides (r = −0.52, p = 0.001), ALT levels (r = −0.57, p < 0.001) and HFF% (r = −0.44, p = 0.005). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is obesity disorder.
