High Serum Adipocyte Fatty Acid Binding Protein Is Associated with Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Table 4

Multivariable stepwise linear regression analysis of gender, height, body mass index, waist circumference, body fat mass, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, albumin, total cholesterol, log-triglyceride, log-HbA1c, log-BUN, log-creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, log-CRP, log-insulin, and log-HOMA-IR: correlation to fasting serum adipocyte fatty acid binding protein level among 165 diabetic patients.
