Lipid levels and insulin resistance markers in patients with colorectal cancer: Propensity score matching analysis

Figure 4 Relationships between serum lipid levels and the malignancy and invasiveness of colorectal cancer. A and B: Serum lipids, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, and atherosclerotic index (AI) in different tumor stage of colorectal cancer (CRC); C and D: Serum lipids, TyG index, and AI in patients with CRC with or without with lymph node metastasis; E and F: Serum lipids, TyG index, and AI in patients with CRC with different differentiations. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation and analyzed by the Student’s t-test. ^aP < 0.05; ^bP < 0.01; ^cP < 0.001. HDL-C: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC: Total cholesterol; TG: Triglyceride.
