Abstract
A 12-week treatment with pravastatin 40 mg/d does not change the QUICKI index and leptin and adiponectin levels in healthy volunteers. In addition, our results emphasize the importance of sex and BMI in the determination of both adiponectin and leptin. Adiponectin was also related to QUICKI index, whereas this relation was not found with leptin.
