Circulating CTRP1 Levels in Type 2 Diabetes and Their Association with FGF21

Figure 2

Correlation between circulating CTRP1 and DM-related cytokines. Circulating levels of CTRP1, FGF21, and adiponectin were measured in human sera. (a) Correlation analyses between circulating levels of CTRP1 and FGF21 in sera. (b) Correlation analyses between circulating levels of CTRP1, FGF21, and adiponectin in sera are showed in 3-dimensional dot plot (upper) and correlation coefficient (bottom). Correlations between indicated groups were analyzed using a generalized linear model. ln, natural logarithm.
