Fig. 4From: Dietary glycemic index and glycemic load mediate the effect of CARTPT rs2239670 gene polymorphism on metabolic syndrome and metabolic risk factors among adults with obesityPath analysis diagram with standardized estimates illustrating the total effects of CARTPT rs2239670 polymorphism, diet, socio-demographic and psychological parameters on lipid profile among adults with obesity. Abbreviations: CART, cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript; GI, glycemic index; GL, glycemic load; SES, socio-economic status; PA, Physical activity; Appe, appetite; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; TG, triglyceride; Chol, cholesterol.*All path coefficients are standardized. Red arrows mean p.value ≤0.05. £Total effect is defined as the sum of direct and indirect effects.Back to article page
