Table 1. Morning and evening concentrations of cytokines (pg/ml) in the serum samples of patients with stage II EH (duration of 10 to 14 years, no antihypertensive treatment applied)
Note: significance of differences: ' — < 0.05, ^ — < 0.01, * — < 0.001 (comparison with the specified group). The data are presented as an arithmetic mean (M) and a standard deviation (SD).
Table 2. The relationships between morning and evening concentrations of cytokines (pg/ml) in the serum samples of patients with stage II EH (duration of 10 to 14 years, no antihypertensive treatment applied) AND the blood pressure phenotype
Note: significance of differences: ' — < 0.05, ^ — < 0.01, * — < 0.001 (comparison with the specified group); 1 — 7:00 a.m., dippers, 2 — 8:00 p.m, dippers, 3 — 7:00 a.m., non-dippers, 4 — 8:00 p.m., non-dippers, 5 — 7:00 a.m., night-peakers, 6 — 8:00 p.m, night-peakers. The data are presented as a median (Ме) and an interquartile range [С25-С75].
