Further analysis of the study population revealed that ANGPTL5 levels were significantly higher in obese subjects with T2D, when compared with non-obese non-T2D subjects (mean ± SEM: 4.027 ± 0.271 vs. 6.145 ± 0.317 ng/mL; P < 0.0001 Figure 2C). This evidence concerns the gene ANGPTL5 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
