Mean Lp-PLA2 did not differ across the comparison groups in GoDARTS (~120 nmol min−1 ml−1), while they did differ in the STABILITY trial, with the group without diabetes having higher activity levels (175.5 ± 45.2 vs 167.0 ± 46.9 nmol min−1 ml−1). This evidence concerns the gene PLA2G7 and diabetes mellitus.
