Figure 4From: Adipokine resistin predicts anti-inflammatory effect of glucocorticoids in asthmaCorrelation between leptin and FEV 1 in steroid-naïve asthmatics. BMI-adjusted plasma concentrations of leptin correlated negatively with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1, % predicted) in asthmatics (Spearman's rank correlation), i.e. the higher the BMI adjusted leptin level the lower the FEV1 (% predicted).Back to article page
