In addition, differences in blood lipid profiles were observed, with higher total cholesterol and low‐density lipoprotein in subjects with dysfunctional ECFCs compared with subjects with functional ECFCs, with no significant differences observed for triglycerides, high‐density lipoprotein, glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment β‐cell, homeostasis model assessment β‐cell sensitivity, and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance between groups (Table 1). The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Insulin resistance.
