Abs398 and Abs575 were not associated with RBC counts, hemoglobinemia, hematocrit, bilirubin, AST, ALT, LDH and iron levels, or inflammation (Leukocyte counts, CRP) (Tables 1 and 2), nor correlated to dyslipidemia or HTN (Fig 4C, 4D, 4G and 4H), lipid-lowering or antihypertensive medication (Tables 2 and 3). Here, CRP is linked to metabolic syndrome.
