“…Results. In patients with MS by the EAT thickness-based criteria (EAT thickness ≥7 mm), the levels of insulin (11,2 μIU/ml; 95% confidence interval (CI) 5,2-19,9 μIU/ml), HOMA-IR index (2,6; 95% CI 1,1-4,6), resistin (12,8 ng/ml; 95% CI 8,1-16,7 ng/ml), and interleukin-6 (12,4 pg/ml; 95% CI 7,6-15,0 pg/ml) were higher than those levels in patients with MS by the WC-based criteria (WC ≥94 cm): 6,9 (3,5-14,2) μIU/ml (p=0,040); 1,8 (0,9-3,4) (p=0,041); 10,8 (6,6-16,1) ng/ml (p=0,044); and 9,8 (4,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)6) pg/ml (p=0,044), respectively.…”
