Similarly, BMI, WHR, systolic and diastolic pressures showed an increasing trend with respect to the number of MetS components in the three study groups (all p < 0.01).

The circulating levels of inflammatory markers (TNF-α, CRP and IL-1β) showed an expected trend of elevated levels in groups with higher MetS components ( p < 0.01 in all); however, for circulating NLRP3 levels, this trend was missing when all subjects were taken into consideration in Table 1 ( p = 0.44). 3.2.
