ANGPTL2 and endothelial dysfunction: Before the training program, in patients (men and women) with initial endothelial dysfunction, basal plasma angptl2 levels were not significantly higher than in patients with normal endothelial function (median 2.67 [1.46–5.64], n = 19 versus 2.02 [1.30–2.94], n = 12, P = 0.3011).
