Intestinal barrier functions in patients with good or poor control of blood pressure.

	Good SBP control	Poor SBP control	P-value	Good DBP control	Poor DBP control	P-value
	(n = 67)	(n = 39)	(n = 83)	(n = 23)
Elevated DAO	20 (29.85)	10 (25.64)	0.643	20 (24.10)	10 (43.48)	0.068
Elevated LPS	13 (19.40)	11 (28.21)	0.296	19 (22.89)	5 (21.74)	0.907
Elevated D-lactate	45 (61.16)	31 (79.49)	0.174	61 (73.49)	15 (65.22)	0.436

Data are presented as n (%). DAO, Diamine oxidase; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
