Association between the increase in plasma adropin levels with fructose consumption and fasting TG (A,D), total area under the curve for TG over 23 h (B,E) and integrative area under the curve for TG over 23 h (C,F).

The TG shown in (A–C) are averages based on quartile for Δ^adropin adjusted for age, sex, BMI and % body fat. The quartiles are for Δ^adropin ranked from 1^st (lowest) to 4^th (highest). *P < 0.05 vs. 1^st and 3^rd quartile. Scatterplots shown in (D–F) have baseline TG data (fasting, total or integrative area under the curve) in the y-axis and Δ^adropin in the x-axis.
