BMI: body mass index; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; AUCg: area under the curve for OGTT glucose levels; Crcl: creatinine clearance; HsCRP: human sensitive C-reactive protein. Data presented as univariate Pearson correlation coefficients () value: *, **. Correlations with no superscript are not significant (). †After adjustment for confounding factors (including age, BMI, history of smoking, history of hypertension and medication use, blood pressure parameters) by multivariate analysis, activin retained a positive association among total subjects with fasting glucose, HbA1c, and HOMA-IR but lost its correlation with fasting insulin. In the T2D group, only HOMA-IR retained a positive correlation with activin after adjustment. |
