Expression of the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products in Epicardial Fat: Link with Tissue Thickness and Local Insulin Resistance in Coronary Artery Disease

Figure 2

Relationship between RAGE expression in EAT and indices of insulin sensitivity. CAD patients were stratified into two groups (Q1 and Q2) on the basis of the median RAGE expression in EAT. (a) Gene expression of GLUT4 and adiponectin in EAT was compared in the two groups. (b) HOMA-IR and LAP were compared in the two groups. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; .
