Meteorin-like protein elevation post-exercise improved vascular inflammation among coronary artery disease patients by downregulating NLRP3 inflammasome activity
Figure 1. Associations between plasma meteorin-like protein (Metrnl) levels, fatty acids, and inflammatory cytokines. No significant correlation was present between Metrnl and (A) total cholesterol (TC), as well as (B) triglyceride (TG) levels. (C) Metrnl was positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL). Metrnl was negatively correlated with (D) low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), (E) tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, (F) interleukin (IL)-1β, (G) IL-6, and (H) C-reactive protein (CRP). P<0.05 was statistically significant.
