Association between Serum Ferritin and Blood Lipids: Influence of Diabetes and hs-CRP Levels

Figure 1

TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C were significantly higher among subjects with a high CRP level than among those with a normal CRP level (). A significant increase of TG, TC, and LDL-C across progressive ferritin groups was observed in subjects without diabetes (). However, no significant change of HDL-C and LDL-C across progressive ferritin groups was observed in subjects with diabetes (). And also, TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C were significantly higher among subjects with diabetes than among those without diabetes (). (a) All-subject group, means TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C. (b) Normal CRP level group, means TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C. (c) High CRP level group, means TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C. (d) No diabetes group, means TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C. (e) Diabetes group, means TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C.
