Abbreviations: PICP, carboxyterminal propeptide of procollagen I; CITP, carboxyterminal telopeptide of collagen I; TIMP-1, tissue inhibitor of the matrix metalloproteinase type 1; PIIINP, aminoterminal propeptide of procollagen III. Values are arithmetic mean (SE) or geometric mean (interquartile range). Adjustments included body mass index, serum total cholesterol, γ−glutamyltransferase and creatinine, plasma glucose, and treatment with diuretics, β−blockers and inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system.
