The effect of adiposity on a subset of serum markers associated with obesity; validation study. Serum concentrations for a subset of proteins were validated using the Bio-plex system (Bio-Rad). a = p > 0.05 (no statistically significant difference); b = p < 0.05 statistically significant difference. Interleukin (IL)-10, IL-12 and IL13 were below the detectable range of this assay.
