SRA1 and diabetes mellitus: Correlational analysis of SAR1 adipose expression with clinico-metabolic signatures, after stratifying the study population based on BMI regardless of the diabetes status, indicated that SRA1 expression was associated directly with waist circumference (r = 0.0646, p = 0.043) in NW, and inversely with HbA1c (r = −0.417, p = 0.022) in overweight individuals (Table 3).
