Values are shown as mean value ± standard deviation or {1st quartile; median; 3rd quartile}. Data were obtained with the Kruskal–Wallis test with the post hoc Dunn’s test (glucagon, IL-6, and CRP), with the Mann–Whitney U test (insulin, glucose, and cadmium), and with the Student’s t-test (copper and zinc). N: number of patients; compared to control group with A/G genotype; compared to obese group with A/G genotype; compared to control group with G/G genotype. Bold values represent medians.
