Table 2. Correlation of AGE and the AGE/sRAGE ratio with total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in hypercholesterolemic subjects.
Parameter | AGE | AGE/sRAGE |
---|---|---|
Total cholesterol | p < 0.001 | p < 0.001 |
r = 0.664 | r = 0.73 | |
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol | p < 0.001 | p = 0.001 |
r = 0.66 | r = 0.74 | |
Triglycerides | p < 0.001 | p = 0.001 |
r = 0.741 | r = 0.77 | |
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol | p < 0.001 | p < 0.001 |
r = − 0.63 | r = − 0.62 |
Abbreviations: AGE, advanced glycation end product; r, Pearson correlation coefficient; sRAGE, soluble receptor for advance glycation end product ratio.
Note: p < 0.05 is considered significant.
