Results presented as mean ± SD. BMI indicates body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HDL, high-density lipoprotein, hsCRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; MAP, mean arterial pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure. Statistically significant differences are given as follows: *AdipoR(+) versus AdipoR(−), †AdipoR(+) versus control, ‡AdipoR(−) versus control, is considered significant.
