Plasma Fatty Acid Composition Was Associated with Apelin Gene Expression in Human Adipose Tissues

Table 2

Association of plasma fatty acids with apelin plasma concentration and adipose tissues gene expression.

	Visceral		Subcutaneous		Plasma
	STZ	value	STZ	value	STZ	value
Total plasma FFA	0.241	0.006	0.040	0.655	-0.074	0.389
Saturated fatty acids	0.336	<0.001	0.160	0.068	-0.058	0.496
Monounsaturated fatty acid	0.313	<0.001	0.130	0.148	-0.099	0.249
Polyunsaturated fatty acid	0.116	0.194	-0.064	0.475	-0.052	0.545

The model was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, HOMA-IR, physical activity, and energy intake. Multivariable linear regression analyses was performed, and standardized (STZ) were reported.
