Figure 1From: Serum levels of apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage are associated with hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C Correlation between serum levels of AIM, adiponectin, leptin, or resistin and HOMA-IR. Resistin and leptin levels were positively and serum adiponectin levels were negatively correlated with HOMA-IR. There was a tendency towards a positive correlation between serum AIM levels and HOMA-IR. AIM, apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance. Correlation coefficients were calculated by Spearman’s rank correlation analysis.Back to article page
