Multiple Regression Analysis of Clinical Variables
| Response Variablea | Predictor Variableb | R2 | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| LN Peak Serum V | −HbA1c | 0.38 | 0.009 |
| Clamp-High | +HbA1c | 0.39 | 0.010 |
| Fasting Blood Glucose | −Globulin and −HbA1c | 0.49 | 0.013 |
a
The response variables used were natural log peak serum vanadium (LN Peak Serum V), clamp-high, clamp-low, and fasting blood glucose. Clamp-High is a euglycemic-hyperinsulinnemic clamp using 1.0 mU insulin/kg/minute. A low euglycemic clamp (0.5 mU insulin/kg/minute) was also used but correlated to no predictor variables.
b
The predictor variables used were: Hematocrit, gravametric lipid, Body Mass Index, and serum levels of triglyceride, HDL, VLDL, globulin, serum albumin, total protein, glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) and LN Peak Serum V.
