a) Plasma PTX3 in non-obese and obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2) acute coronary syndrome patients (ACS; non-obese n = 49, obese n = 23) and control subjects (non-ACS; non-obese n = 33, obese n = 19); b) Plasma PTX3 in patients with normal or high waist circumference (WC) (> 102 or 88 cm for male and female subjects, respectively) in the acute coronary syndrome (ACS; normal WC n = 34, high WC n = 38) and control groups (non-ACS; normal WC n = 23, high-WC n = 29). *: P < 0.05 Obese vs corresponding Non-Obese group; $: P < 0.05 Obese and Non-Obese ACS vs corresponding Non-ACS group, by Kruskal-Wallis test.
