“…Multivariate forward stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that body fat mass (adjusted R2 change = 0.218; P=0.008) and log-TG (adjusted R2 change = 0.036; P<0.001) positively correlated, whereas eGFR (adjusted R2 change = 0.033; P=0.013) negatively correlated with serum FGF21 levels in T2DM patients. Conclusions. This study showed that higher serum FGF21 levels were positively associated with MetS in T2DM patients and significantly positively related to body fat mass and TG but negatively related to eGFR in these subjects.…”
