Circulating CTRP5 levels in the study population: (a) distribution of circulating CTRP5 levels in 89 control subjects; (b) distribution of circulating CTRP5 levels in 88 MetS subjects; (c) circulating CTRP5 levels in control and MetS subjects ( compared with controls); (d) circulating CTRP5 levels in all studied population according to BMI (lean: BMI < 25 kg/m2 and OW/obese: BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2; compared with lean subjects); (e) odds ratio (OR) for having MetS according to the quartiles of circulating CTRP5 levels (reference, the lowest quartile) (OR: odd ratio; Q: quartile); (f) circulating CTRP5 levels decreased progressively with increasing numbers of components of MetS. was considered significant.
