β-Aminoisobutyric Acid Relates to Favorable Glucose Metabolism through Adiponectin in Adults with Obesity Independent of Prediabetes

Table 3

Adipokines between NGT and PD.

	NGT	PD	value
Adipokines (ng/mL)
Total adiponectin^			0.50
HMW adiponectin			0.84
Leptin			0.87
Total adiponectin/leptin^			0.92
HMW adiponectin/leptin			0.61

Data are presented as . NGT = normal glucose tolerant; PD = prediabetes; HMW = high molecular weight. ^Data were log-transformed for statistical analysis but are presented as raw data for ease of interpretation. Unpaired two-tailed -test was utilized to determine group differences. Significance accepted at .
