Association of chemerin with markers of disturbed glucose homeostasis. Pearson’s simple coefficient or Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used for correlation analyses. a Correlation of circulating chemerin levels with fasting glucose levels (r = 0.528, p = 0.052, n = 14). b Correlation of circulating chemerin levels with logarithmised intraoperative (OP) glucose in subjects with sepsis (r = 0.662, p = 0.01, n = 14). c Correlation of BMI-adjusted circulating chemerin levels with HOMA-IR (r = 0.539, p = 0.071, n = 12). d Correlation of HbA1c-adjusted circulating chemerin levels with HOMA-IR after adjusting for BMI (r = 0.553, p = 0.062, n = 12). e Correlation of circulating chemerin levels with glucose levels in the second study cohort after exclusion of patients with SHG (r = 0.438, p = 0.041, n = 22). f Correlation of circulating chemerin levels with glucose levels in patients with SHG in the second study cohort (r = −0.063; p = 0.823, n = 15).
