BP responder specific changes in the vascular endothelial function and immune response. (A–E) LZJ and AT caused changes in ET-1, NO, MMP-9, IL-6, and IL-10 in hypertensive patients persisting 3 months later. The line within the boxplot indicates the median. Whiskers are drawn to minimum and maximum values, but not further than 1.5 × IQ. Differences in exercise intervention for 12-week changes from baseline of laboratory indexes were tested by analysis of t-test or Mann-Whitney-U test based on whether the data were normally distributed.
