Independent determinants for plasma (log)pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in a stepwise linear regression model

	Insulin-resistant subjects			Hypercholesterolaemic subjects			Hypertensive subjects
	n = 403			n = 845			n = 311
Determinats	B	s.e.	P	B	s.e.	P	B	s.e.	P
LDL cholesterol	−0·054	0·019	0·005
Pulse pressure				0·002	0·001	0·019	0·003	0·001	0·007
IDO	0·004	0·002	0·015
	R2 = 0·057			R2 = 0·011			R2 = 0·025

The model included age, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure and IDO as dependent variables. HOMA-IR: insulin resistance index; IDO: indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) enzyme; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; s.e.: standard error.
