 The study aimed to evaluate the potential relationship between iron status markers and insulin resistance, IR, in adolescent girls. Ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor, STFR, high-sensitivity seriactive protein, HSCRP, and retinal binding protein 4, RBP4, were measured to investigate their independent associations with home IR. The results showed that serum STFR levels remained positively associated with higher home IR after adjustment for waste circumference, while higher serum ferritin levels together with higher RBP4 were related to higher home IR.
