ADV36 adipogenic adenovirus in human liver disease

Figure 5 Odds ratio. Increased risk of obesity (top) is associated with greater insulin resistance, C-reactive protein, and ADV37 seropositivity (Ad37⁺), whereas higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is associated with lower prevalence of obesity. A more consistent association of ADV37⁺, greater insulin resistance, C-reactive protein (CRP), and obesity was observed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (bottom), whereas higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was associated with a lower prevalence of NAFLD. No sex difference was found. This behavior is different, if not opposite, of that of ADV36.
