“…It is reported in various studies that vitamin D deficiency is more common in women than in men, and that women possess more severe forms of the disease. Women generally spend most of their time for indoor activities, and thus they are not exposed to sunlight efficiently; this may be the reason of more common vitamin D deficiency reported in women in various studies [10][11][12]. In our study, vitamin D and vaspin levels correlated positively and significantly, whereas there was an inverse and significant relation between vitamin D and omentin values.…”

“…At the same time, insulin is an important modulator of apelin expression and secretion, and high concentrations of apelin are observed in hyperinsulinemia, indicating a correlation between apelin and insulin [19]. Recent studies have found high concentrations of apelin in obese individuals and in type 2 diabetes patients, while showing correlations of apelin with homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance, body mass index, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and insulin [20, 21]. Based on this evidence, apelin appears be a relevant indicator for metabolic syndrome and related to type 2 diabetes [22].…”

“…Some studies have suggested that high MPV values demonstrate increased platelet activity in patients with diabetes and are associated with insulin resistance. 31 The correlation between MPV levels and Bell’s palsy has not been documented in the literature. There were no significant intergroup differences in MPV values in the present study, in agreement with the results reported in the literature.…”
