Inverse association of des-acyl ghrelin with worksite blood pressure in overweight/obese male workers

Table 5 Results of multiple linear regression analysis with the (A) BP changes from Sleep BP as the dependent variables and des-acyl ghrelin as the independent variables, controlling for awake value of LF/HF and Sleep BP (B) BP changes from Morning BP or Home BP to Work BP as the dependent variables and des-acyl ghrelin as the independent variables, controlling for awake value of LF/HF and Morning BP or Home BP
