EV-CD14 levels were higher in patients suffering from hyperlipidaemia (12.43 pg/μg versus 10.90 pg/μg, p < 0.001) and lower in patients who developed incident type 2 diabetes compared to patients who did not develop incident type 2 diabetes (11.04 pg/μg versus 11.26 pg/μg, p < 0.001). Here, CD14 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
