Association of Adipokines with Insulin Resistance, Microvascular Dysfunction, and Endothelial Dysfunction in Healthy Young Adults

Table 4

Association of the inflammation measures with insulin sensitivity (QUICKI).

Inflammation measure		QUICKI
	Increment	D	(95% CI)
CRP (mg/L)	2	−0.007	(−0.010, −0.004)	0.001
IL-6 (pg/mL)	2	0.007	(0.002, 0.011)	0.003
TNF (pg/mL)	3	−0.004	(−0.008, −0.001)	0.042
PAI-1 (ng/mL)	25	−0.006	(−0.009, −0.003)	0.001
Adiponectin (g/mL)	8	0.009	(0.004, 0.014)	0.001

: estimated mean difference for QUICKI, corresponding to the increment shown (~1 standard deviation) for each inflammation measure. CI: confidence interval.
The model controlled for age, sex, race, marital status, employment status, smoking, drinking, and BMI.
