  1. TBARS, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; CRP, C-reactive protein; OPN, osteopontin; SAA, serum amyloid A; ADPN, adiponectin; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HOMA, homeostatic model assessment; QUICKI, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; WBC, white blood cells; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; γ-GT, γ-glutamyltransferase. Data are Pearson’s correlation coefficients and associated P values. For correlation with gender, male = 0 and female = 1 was used. Those correlations with a P lower than 0.001 are highlighted in bold.
