In univariate model, cases of MetS group are more likely associated with obesity, high TG levels, low HDL, diabetes, high IFP grade, increase in vascularization, decrease in adipocyte cell count, increase in adipocyte size (area), high SF AOPPs levels, high SF IL-17 levels, and high serum IL-17 levels (Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene IL17A and diabetes mellitus.
