Abstract | BACKGROUND: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS: The highest plasma visfatin/NAMPT levels were observed in obese, as well as in non-diabetic insulin resistant subjects; however there were only significant differences found in women. The regression models showed that plasma visfatin/NAMPT levels decline with age and increased with waist circumference, BMI, and hs-CRP. Waist circumference was better correlated than BMI for visfatin/NAMPT levels in statistical models not adjusted by sex, and just the opposite in models which were. We demonstrated a 0.023ng/mL increase of Visfatin/NAMPT levels for 1mg/L increase of hs-CRP, and a 0.007ng/mL decline for each year of age. CONCLUSION:
