Circulating PCSK9 levels and CETP plasma activity are independently associated in patients with metabolic diseases

Abstract

Additional file 1: Figure S1. Correlations between CETP activity and CETP mass (A) and between PCSK9 and CETP mass (B) in patients with T2DM (n=30). CETP mass was measured in human serum using a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (American Diagnostica Gmbh). Spearman coefficients and P values are shown
