Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation or n (%) for dichotomous variables. Adiponectin, IRI, HOMA-IR, and XOR activity were logarithm-transformed (Log) to achieve a normal distribution. Abbreviations: AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; BMI, body mass index; VFA, visceral fat area; SFA, subcutaneous fat area; IRI, immunoreactive insulin; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; XOR, xanthine oxidoreductase.
