BMC Neurology

Table 4 Comparisons of log-transformed leptin and log-transformed A-FABP levels in pediatric onset MS patients to pediatric healthy controls

		Adjusted for batch and age	Adjusted for batch, age and BMI
Leptin	Healthy controls	Reference	Reference
	Pediatric onset MS	1.09 ± 0.73	0.11 ± 0.57
	p-value	0.15	0.86
A-FABP	Pediatric healthy controls	Reference	Reference
A-FABP	Pediatric onset MS	0.74 ± 0.28	0.49 ± 0.26
	p-value	0.019	0.081

Legend: The estimated difference +/− standard error between each group and the healthy controls are presented. MS = multiple sclerosis, A-FABP = adipocyte fatty acid binding protein, BMI = body mass index.
