The expression levels of CMKLR1 are in relative units [ (min–max)]. Data are shown in   ± SD and were classified by tertiles. Difference versus first tertile (, ANOVA, Tukey post hoc). IR: insulin resistance. VAI: visceral adiposity index; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; NEFA: nonesterified fatty acids.
