Table 1. LIF concentrations (pg/ml) in the peripheral blood serum in patients with stage II EH at 8:00, 14:00, 20:00, 2:00, and 8:00 o’clock (next day) in the absence/ presence of antihypertensive therapy in patients with or without cardiovascular complications developed in the 5-year follow-up period (Ме (Q25%–Q75%))
Note: significant for comparisons with the specified time of blood collection or the group (a, b, c, c 1, c2); * — p < 0.001; ^ — p < 0.01; ' — p < 0.05. The paired t-test was applied for intragroup comparison of pretreatment results obtained at 8:00, 14:00, 20:00, 2:00 and 8:00 o’clock. The Wilcoxon test was applied for intragroup comparison in the group of patients after one year of treatment and in the healthy controls. The Mann–Whitney U test was applied to compare independent samples. The Wilcoxon test was applied to compare dependent samples.
Table 2. The percentage of deviations of blood serum LIF (pg/ml) measured at 14.00, 20.00, 2.00 and 8.00 o’clock (next day) from the initial concentrations measured at 8:00 of the first day in patients with stage II EH in the absence/presence of antihypertensive therapy with or without cardiovascular complications developed in the 5-year follow-up period (Ме (Q25%–Q75%))
Note: significant for comparisons with the specified time of blood collection or the group (a, b, c, c1, c2). * — p < 0.001; ^ — p < 0.01; ' — p < 0.05.
