Table 3 Main determinants of serum vaspin in the groups with metabolic syndrome (MetS +), newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes (NDT2D), normal glucose tolerance (NGT), and in the NGT subgroups with (NGT + MetS) and without (NGT–MetS) MetS

From: Is vaspin related to cardio-metabolic status and autonomic function in early stages of glucose intolerance and in metabolic syndrome?
