CRP and Insulin resistance: Correlation analysis showed that acute IGF-II was correlated significantly with age (r = −0.16, p < 0.001), NIHSS (r = −0.12, p < 0.05), hs-CRP (r = −0.17, p < 0.001), and LDL (r = 0.11, p < 0.01), but not significantly with BMI, hypertension, insulin resistance, smoking, or diabetes.
