Table 1.
Baseline characteristics of subgroups with mean (SD).
Table 2.
Partial correlation between variables related to amylase and markers of adiposity in all subjects, obese and controls after controlling for gender and age.
Fig 1.
Distribution of copy number of AMY1 separately in obese men (A) and obese women (B) and in control men (C) and control women (D).
Mean values differed between obese men and obese women (ANOVA: LSD p = 0.045).
Fig 2.
Association between AMY1 copy number with A) whole body fat%, B) BMI, C) waist circumference and D) HOMA in obese women (triangles) and obese men (circles).
Measurements for BMI were obtained at study visit; some subjects with a history of severe childhood obesity had improved BMI.

Association of AMY1 copy number with concentration of total amylase (A) and salivary amylase (B).
Table 3.
Association of AMY1 copy number with total and salivary concentration in the four subgroups (obese men, obese women, control men, control women).
