Relationships of MIC-1 with other parameters in combined population.
| AN + C (n = 41) | BMI | LBM | Glucose | Cholesterol | Albumin | BMD lumbar | Leptin | REE | age | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MIC1 | r | -0.52 | -0.59 | -0.36 | 0.47 | -0.49 | -0.53 | -0.43 | -0.64 | -0.57 |
| p | 0.000 | 0.001 | 0.02 | 0.002 | 0.008 | 0.003 | 0.04 | 0.000 | 0.000 |
Statistically significant relationships of pre-treatment concentrations of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) with anthropometric, hormonal and biochemical parameters calculated in a combined population of normal-weight healthy women and untreated patients with anorexia nervosa (n = 41). Statistical significance is from Spearman Correlation Test. Correlations were controlled for body mass index (BMI). AN - anorexia nervosa, C - control group, LBM - lean body mass, BMD - bone mineral density, REE - resting energy expenditure
