The Proline 7 Substitution in the Preproneuropeptide Y Is Associated with Higher Hepatic Lipase Activity In Vivo

Table 2

Multiple regression analysis result of variables with significant effect on hepatic lipase (HL) activity.

Independent variable	Nondiabetic subjects		Diabetic; subjects
	T	β	T	β
Age	−0.37	−0.03	−2.25	−0.23^#
BMI	0.34	0.031	−1.31	−0.14
HDL	−2.64	−0.21	−0.71	−0.07
Total cholesterol	0.092	0.017	0.206	0.022
Insulin	1.70	0.43	0.03	0.16
HOMA	−1.04	−0.34	0.575	0.063
NPY	2.4	0.21^‡	2.4	0.25^#

The dependent variable is hepatic lipase (nanomoles per milliliter per minute). β is the standardized coefficient, and represents the estimated coefficient, divided by its own standard error. values below −2 or above 2 are considered as useful predictors in the model.
