Correlation analysis between the expression of CPT1A and resistin and MetS components. a Correlation analysis between the mRNA level of CPT1A and age (MetS-KOA: n = 10, nMetS-KOA: n = 10). b Correlation analysis between the mRNA level of CPT1A and BMI (MetS-KOA: n = 10, nMetS-KOA: n = 10). c Correlation analysis between the mRNA level of CPT1A and the number of MetS components (MetS-KOA: n = 10, nMetS-KOA: n = 10). d Correlation analysis between the mRNA level of CPT1A and WC, SBP, DBP, FBG, TG, and HDL-c (MetS-KOA: n = 10, nMetS-KOA: n = 10). e Correlation analysis between the serum resistin and the number of MetS components, FBG, and TG (MetS-KOA: n = 37, nMetS-KOA: n = 43). Statistical significance indicated as P < 0.05, as assessed by pearson correlation analysis
