ANGPTL3 and coronary artery disorder: As shown in Fig. 2, the circulating ANGPTL3 level in the CAD group was significantly higher than in the non-CAD group (46.97 ± 13.89 ng/ml vs 38.25 ± 15.94 ng/ml, respectively; P < 0.001), while no significant differences were found in ANGPTL4 and ANGPTL8 levels between the two groups (Table 1).
