Background: The serum level of fatty-acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) increases in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS), so the relationship between FABP4 and MetS among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) was investigated in the present study.Methods and Results: Fasting blood samples were obtained from 98 CAD patients. MetS and its components were defined using the diagnostic criteria of the International Diabetes Federation; 50 CAD patients (51.0%) had MetS. The fasting level of FABP4 positively correlated with MetS (P=0.037) and serum levels of FABP4 correlated with a number of MetS criteria (P=0.035). Univariate linear regression analysis showed that body fat mass (R=0.234; P=0.020) and the levels of triglycerides (R=0.348; P
