Vaspin and omentin circulating levels and different parameters.
BMI: body mass index, WC: waist circumference, HOMA2-IR: homeostatic model assessment method insulin resistance, SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure.
Bolded p-values indicate statistically significant Spearman's correlations (p < 0.05).
