Table 2. Comparison of Plasma Clusterin Ultradian Rhythm Parameters between Lean and Obese Subjects.

Lean (n=5) Obese (n=5) P value
Clusterin, μg/mL
 Average peak value 41.7±2.9 46.6±2.9 0.261
 Average trough value 19.1±2.0 26.0±2.6 0.066
 Average absolute amplitudea 22.6±1.5 20.6±0.6 0.251
 Average relative amplitudeb 1.3±0.2 0.9±0.1 0.028

Values are expressed as mean±SEM.

aAbsolute amplitude=peak level-next trough level; bRelative amplitude=absolute amplitude/trough level, comparison between lean and obese groups were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
