Here we fit a linear regression model to explain what factors contribute to the LKN time to recanalization using the protein levels of ASC, caspase-1, IL-18 and IL-1β as well as tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), Body Mass Index (BMI), Coronary artery disease (CAD) and whether patients had diabetes or not (Table 3). The gene discussed is IL18; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
