FGF21 and metabolic syndrome: Similarly, those exhibiting insulin resistance had higher levels of FGF-21 (310.73 pg/mL [IQR = 159.32–452.69] versus 228.48 pg/mL [IQR = 160.44–345.88], p = 0.009) and dyslipidemia (345.88 pg/mL [IQR = 206.84–499.68] compared to 221.57 pg/mL [IQR = 149.89–332.25], p = 0.03) (refer to Figure 1).
