Figure 1b showed that adiponectin mRNA levels were lower in EAT than paired SAT samples in the CAD group (0.47 ± 0.24 vs 0.81 ± 0.71, P = 0.0287), whereas adiponectin mRNA levels did not seem to differ between EAT and paired SAT samples in the NCAD group (1.03 ± 0.63 vs 1.00 ± 0.60, P = 0.89). Here, ADIPOQ is linked to coronary artery disorder.
