Circulating GIP levels were significantly lower in patients with STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction; n=100) compared to clinically stable patients without myocardial infarction (n=631) (216.82 pg/mL [Q1–Q3: 52.37–443.07] vs. 271.54 pg/mL [Q1–Q3: 70.12–542.41], p = 0.0266). The gene discussed is GIP; the disease is myocardial infarction.
