Serum levels of adiponectin and leptin in IGR subjects with TCM body constitutions. The associations of adiponectin and leptin with Phlegm-damp (a, d), Damp-heat (b, e) and Qi-deficiency (c, f) were investigated. Serum adiponectin levels are significantly lower in IGR subjects with Phlegm-damp, Damp-heat and Qi-deficiency constitutions as compared with IGR subjects without respective constitutions, while serum leptin levels are significantly higher all three TCM constitution types.Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test was performed. *P<0.05.
