Figure 3From: Adipokine resistin predicts anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticoids in asthmaCorrelation between leptin and FVC in steroid-naïve asthmatics. BMI-adjusted plasma concentrations of leptin correlated negatively with forced vital capacity (FVC, % predicted) in asthmatics (Spearman's rank correlation), i.e. the higher the BMI adjusted leptin level the lower the FVC (% predicted).Back to article page
