We have described GIP and GLP-1 as (1) expressed in many human tissues, (2) emphasized relationship between GIP and GLP-1 and inflammation, (3) highlighted importance of GIP and GLP-1-dependent pathways in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease and (4) proved that GIP and GLP-1 could be used as markers of incidence, clinical course and recurrence of coronary artery disease, and related to extent and severity of atherosclerosis and myocardial ischemia. Here, GCG is linked to atherosclerosis.
