Additionally, the odds ratio of CTRP7 and APN concentration for predicting the development of IR was similar to that of MetS (95% CI 3.65 - 21.71 for quartile 2, 95% CI 10.42 - 59.92 for quartile 3, and 95% CI 23.93-140.45 for quartile 4 vs. quartile 1 for CTRP7; 95% CI 0.36-0.88 for quartile 2, 95% CI 0.21- 0.54 for quartile 3 and 95% CI 0.14-0.37 for quartile 4 vs. quartile 1 for APN, all p < 001) (Figure 1G). The gene discussed is ANPEP; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
