ADIPOQ and type 1 diabetes mellitus: Upon performing univariate and multivariate regression analyses for factors associated with chemerin and adiponectin gene polymorphism among children with T1DM, cholesterol and ABI were the significant independent variables related to chemerin (p = 0.03 and p = 0.038, respectively); as for adiponectin gene polymorphism, it was independently related to cholesterol, triglycerides, and ABI (p = 0.016, p = 0.023, and p = 0.021), Table 5.
