Correlation between: A TL1A and FFAR2; B TL1A and LDL-C; C TL1A and hs-CRP; D TL1A and troponin T; E FFAR2 and FBG; F FFAR2 and TC; G FFAR2 and TG; H FFAR2 and LDL-C; I FFAR2 and hs-CRP; J FFAR2 and troponin T among 30 SA and 30 UA patients. Significant positive correlation was found between TL1A and each of B LDL-C (r = 0.406, P = 0.001); C hs-CRP (r = 0.673, P < 0.001) and D troponin T (r = 0.653, P < 0.001). A significant negative correlation was found between FFAR2 and each of A TL1A (r = − 0.858, P < 0.001); E FBG (r = − 0.325, P = 0.011); F TC (r = − 0.306, P = 0.017); G TG (r = − 0.368, P = 0.004); H LDL-C (r = − 0.413, P = 0.001); I hs-CRP (r = − 0.737, P < 0.001) and J troponin T (r = − 0.715, P < 0.001). FBG fasting blood glucose, FFAR2 free fatty acid receptor 2, hs-CRP high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, r correlation coefficient, TC total cholesterol, TG triglycerides, TL1A tumor necrosis factor like cytokine 1A, and P value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant
