Table 2 Univariate relationships of leptin, adiponectin and the leptin/adiponectin (L/A) ratio with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (free T₄) in 67 subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and in 86 subjects without MetS

From: Increased leptin/adiponectin ratio relates to low-normal thyroid function in metabolic syndrome

	MetS (n = 67)		No MetS (n = 86)
	TSH	free T₄	TSH	free T₄
Leptin	0.168	0.020	−0.013	−0.113
Adiponectin	−0.090	−0.046	0.154	0.056
L/A ratio	0.252*	0.031	−0.068	−0.106

Pearson correlation coefficients are shown. Logarithmically transformed values of leptin, adiponectin, the L/A ratio are used for statistical comparisons. *P = 0.04
