  1. HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment for Insulin Resistance; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; ApoA-1: Apolipoprotein A1; ApoB: Apolipoprotein B; hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Correlations were determined by Spearman rank test in 128 subjects (obese patients and healthy controls).
