Lp-PLA2 activity (a) and 8-epi-PGF2α (b) levels at baseline () and 2-year follow-up () in control (normal BP at both baseline and follow-up) and hypertension (normal BP at baseline but development of hypertension during follow-up) groups. Mean ± SE. ∮tested by logarithmic transformation. derived from an independent t-test between the groups at baseline and follow-up and adjusted for the baseline BMI and follow-up BMI, respectively. derived from a paired t-test in each group. 1 derived from an independent t-test at the changed value and adjusted for the baseline values.
