We did not observe significant differences in the values of beta-defensin 2 (p = 0.936), presepsin (p = 0.175), IL-6 (p = 0.341), and ferritin (p = 0.237) between the obesity group and the control/overweight group (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
