Low Circulating TRAIL Levels Are Associated with Increase of Resistin and Lipocalin-2/ngal Adipokines in Postmenopausal Women

Table 3

Ability of TRAIL to predict resistin or lipocalin-2/ngal changes within deciles I–IV evaluated by multiple regression analysis.

Regression model	Outcome variables	Explanatory variable	Unstandardized coefficient B	Standard error	Standardized coefficient β	Contribute to outcome variance
1	Resistin	TRAIL	−275.1	63.1	−0.522^∗∗	0.252^#
2	Lipocalin-2/ngal	TRAIL	−3.5	1.4	−0.360^∗	0.138

Both multiple regression models include age, hypertension, and waist circumference. B = unstandardized regression coefficient; β = standardized regression coefficient. ^#The squared semipartial correlation coefficient accounts for the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is explained by the covariate. ; .
