Table 4. Correlations between dimethylarginines, and Larginine in the high and low HDL groups.

	ADMA
	HighHDL		LowHDL
	N = 250		N = 362
	r	p	r	p
HDL-Cholest	−0.077	0.225	−0.265	<0.001
SDMA	0.319	<0.001	0.253	<0.001
L-arginine	0.171	0.007	0.311	<0.001

Low HDL was defined as <40 mg/dL in men and <50 mg/dL in women.

ADMA: Asymmetric dimethylarginine; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein; SDMA: Symmetric dimethylarginine.
