Pleiotropic Associations of RARRES2 Gene Variants and Circulating Chemerin Levels: Potential Roles of Chemerin Involved in the Metabolic and Inflammation-Related Diseases

Figure 1

Box and whisker plots analysis for the circulating inflammatory marker and adipokine levels according to chemerin level tertiles. Our data revealed significant associations of multiple inflammatory marker and adipokine levels with chemerin level tertiles ( values between 0.002 and 3.2 × 10⁻²⁰). Abbreviations were used as in Table 3. The stars in each plot of the figure revealed participants with biomarker levels over three times the interquartile range (IQR) in each chemerin level tertile. If the value of outlier is between 1.5 and 3 times the IQR, we remark “○.” Note that we have an outlier for CRP in the third tertile of chemerin on truncated coordination of Figure 1.
