Serum Fetuin-B Levels Are Elevated in Women with Metabolic Syndrome and Associated with Increased Oxidative Stress

Figure 1

Serum fetuin-B levels in the study population. (a) Distribution of serum fetuin-B in 185 healthy women. (b) Serum fetuin-B levels in MetS and healthy subjects. (c) Serum fetuin-B levels according to BMI (lean:  kg/m²; overweight/obese:  kg/m²). (d) Serum fetuin-B levels, according to HOMA-IR (IR: ; non-IR: ). (e) All factors and stepwise multiple regression analyses of the serum fetuin-B and MetS in study individuals. (f) Serum fetuin-B levels in relation to the number of MetS components. (g) The odds ratio of having MetS in different tertiles of serum fetuin-B (tertile 1, ≤5.49 mg/L; tertile 2, 5.49-8.58 mg/L; tertile 3, >8.58 mg/L). Data were . or vs. controls, lean, no IR, or tertile 1.
