In the present study, we found that serum levels of proinflammatory adipokines (TNF-α, CTRP1, salusin-β, YKL-40, and SFRP-4) were elevated in CAD patients, whereas those of anti-inflammatory adipokines (ADP, CTRP9, salusin-α, and Metrnl) were lower relative to those in NCAD patients. The gene discussed is C1QTNF9; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
