Serum concentrations of cortisol, interleukin 6, leptin and adiponectin predict stress induced insulin resistance in acute inflammatory reactions

Table 2 Prediction of insulin glycaemic index by different serum parameters using the equation: E(log(Homa_ij)|b_i) = β₀ + β₁ log(Corti)_ij+ β₂ log(Il 6)_ij+ β₃ log(lep)_ij+ β₄ log(adi)_ij+ b_i, i = 1,..., 37, j = 1,..., 5 Where i indicates patients 1 to 37 and j indicates the different time points (1 to 5) assessed in each patient

	β	Estimate, confidence interval	F value	p Value
Intercept	β₀	-1.25 (-4.10 to 1.60)	84.75	< 0.0001
Log cortisol	β₁	0.57 (0.43 to 0.71)	104.26	< 0.0001
Log IL6	β₂	0.20 (0.12 to 0.28)	27.63	< 0.0001
Log leptin	β₃	0.29 (0.15 to 0.43)	18.12	< 0.0001
Log adiponectin	β₄	-0.37 (-0.64 to -0.03)	4.7	0.03

The likelihood ratio test was used to model for insulin glycaemic index. IL, interleukin.
