Table 5 Independent association of NPR-A after weight loss and male sex with an increase of HOMA-IR at month 48 (ΔHOMA-IRT0T48). Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was adjusted for the treatment group, age, sex, HOMA-IR after weight loss, and ΔBMIT0T48. Male sex was defined as 1 and female sex was defined as 2

From: Weight loss-induced improvement of body weight and insulin sensitivity is not amplified by a subsequent 12-month weight maintenance intervention but is predicted by adaption of adipose atrial natriuretic peptide system: 48-month results of a randomized controlled trial
