Myeloperoxidase-Dependent LDL Modifications in Bloodstream Are Mainly Predicted by Angiotensin II, Adiponectin, and Myeloperoxidase Activity: A Cross-Sectional Study in Men

Table 2

Multivariate analysis of backward regressions in the total population.

𝑁=121	Standardized regression; coefficient	𝑃 value
Model 1 𝑅=0.52, 𝐹=9.7, 𝑃<0.001
ANGII	0.425	<0.001
MPO activity	0.236	0.018
Adiponectin	−0.196	0.05
Model 2 𝑅=0.58, 𝐹=12.6, 𝑃<0.001
ANGII	0.446	<0.001
MPO activity	0.315	0.001
Adiponectin	−0.201	0.03

Parameters introduced in the stepwise multiple regression analysis: age, BMI, adiponectin, IL-8, total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides, glycaemia, MPO antigen, MPO activity, and the ratio MPO activity/MPO antigen. Model 1: the Mox-LDL is the dependent variable. Model 2: the Mox-LDL/ApoB is the dependent variable.
