Insulinemia (p = 0.0004), insulin sensitivity (p = 0.0001) and insulin resistance (p = 0.001), as well as the mean serum levels of adiponectin (p = 0.0003), chemerin (p = 0.0001) and their ratio (p = 0.005) were parameters with statistically significant higher mean values in this group. Here, ADIPOQ is linked to Insulin resistance.
