A very weak, but statistically significant, correlation of HBP, WBC, and D-dimer levels with the peritoneal fluid polymorphonuclear (PMN) count was observed in the simple regression model, but multivariable analysis using the multiple regression model showed that only D-dimers correlated with peritoneal fluid PMNs independently from other inflammation biomarkers. …”

“…Results. (1) The rs682429 polymorphism of the LRP5 genotype distribution was statistically significant (P<0.05) in group B compared with group A. (2) The triglycerides (TG) of women with the CT/TT genotype (mutant type) were higher than those of women with the CC genotype (wild type) (2.37±1.30 vs. 1.52±0.83, P<0.05) at the rs3781590 site of the LRP5 gene in group D. (3) Multiple linear regression analysis showed that TG (β=0.034, P<0.05) and body mass index (BMI) (β=0.013, P<0.05) were the influencing factors of BMD (L1-4) in T2DM patients. …”
