Serum concentration of adipokines and inflammatory cytokines in the study groups. Serum adipokines and inflammatory cytokines including visfatin (A), leptin (B), resistin (C), adiponectin (D), IL-6 (E) and CRP (F) of the control group(n = 36), overweight group (n = 38) and obesity group (n = 38) were measured by ELISA. All data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, * indicated statistically significant difference compared with the normal weight group (P < 0.05), # indicated statistically significant difference compared with the overweight group (P < 0.05). One-way ANOVA and Kruskal–Wallis test were used as the statistically test
