- Table 4: Data are presented as median (interquartile range), and comparisons are made using the Mann–Whitney U test. Nor = Norwegian patients. Pak = Pakistani patients.The number of Nor/Pak were: for adiponectin and leptin, n = 21/18. For IL-6, hsCRP and IL-1RA, n = 20/17, and for sTNF-R1, n = 20/16. IL-6 = interleukin-6, hsCRP = high sensitive C-reactive protein, IL-1RA = interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, sTNF-R1 = soluble tumor necrosis factor-receptor 1.
