Table 2.
Associations of soluble VCAM-1 or P-selectin with plasma lipids, body weight, and atherosclerotic lesion size in the B6.apoE−/− and C3H.apoE−/− intercross fed a western diet.
| VCAM-1 | P-selectin | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R value | P value | R value | P value | |
| Body weight | 0.161 | 0.015 | 0.233 | 0.00044 |
| Total cholesterol | 0.122 | 0.065 | 0.184 | 0.0057 |
| LDL/VLDL cholesterol | 0.119 | 0.073 | 0.184 | 0.0056 |
| HDL cholesterol | 0.047 | 0.483 | 0.025 | 0.708 |
| Triglyceride | 0.01 | 0.85 | 0.10 | 0.14 |
| Lesion size | -0.15 | 0.03 | 0.03 | 0.68 |
R, correlation coefficient; P, statistical significance. Significant correlations are denoted in bold. Plasma triglyceride levels and lesion size were log-transformed, and all other trait values exhibited normal distributions and thus were not transformed before linear regression was performed.
