The Associations of Novel Vitamin D₃ Metabolic Gene CYP27A1 Polymorphism, Adiponectin/Leptin Ratio, and Metabolic Syndrome in Middle-Aged Taiwanese Males

Figure 3

Associations between the CYP27A1 rs4674344 SNP and each component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) for the adiponectin/leptin (A/L) ratio. The A/L ratio was only significant as the condition did not meet all individual MetS criteria except for the BP component after adjusting for age, BMI, smoking, alcohol drinking, betel nut chewing, CAD, total cholesterol, LDL, CHOL(T)/HDL, and the other 4 components, respectively, for the CYP27A1 rs4674344 SNP. BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; DM: diabetes mellitus; CHOL(T): total cholesterol; HDL: high density lipoprotein; TG: triglycerides. Significant difference ().
