Partial correlations of changes in variables due to overfeeding related to baseline fasting serum adiponectin, after control for age1.

1HOMA-IR, Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HOMA-β of β cell function. Partial correlation analysis after control for age was used to screen for the potential changes in factors due to overfeeding related to fasting adiponectin.2Subjects were classified on the basis of %BF as either normal weight (8–20.9%), overweight (21–25.9%) or obese (>26%) according to the Bray criteria [32].3Not significant after Bonferroni correction to adjust for the multiple variables tested.
