Normalized relative risks (fold-change) of salient current biomarkers or of potential serological biomarkers for CHD. Note. From “How do high glycemic load diets influence coronary heart disease?” by Mathews M, Liebenberg L, Mathews EH Nutr Metab 2015;12:6 [9]. Increased IGF-1 and HDL levels are associated with a moderately decreased CHD risk. (IGF-1 and HDL levels are significantly inversely correlated to relative risk for CHD.) N indicates number of trials; I, standard error; ACR, albumin-to-creatinine ratio; Adipo, adiponectin; ApoB, apolipoprotein-B; BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; Cort, cortisol; CRP, C-reactive protein; Cysteine, Homocysteine; Fibrin, fibrinogen; GDF-15, growth-differentiation factor-15; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin A1c; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; IL-6, interleukin-6; IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor-1; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; MPO, myeloperoxidase; RANKL or OPG, osteoprotegerin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; Trop, troponins; Trigl, triglycerides
