Abstract
Two hundred and thirty eight persons were examined to evaluate the interrelations among seven key factors for arteriosclerosis: body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (BPs), plasma glucose (PG), serum cholesterol (CHO), serum triglyceride (TG), serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), and serum insulin (IRI). BPs showed the significant positive correlation with PG (r=0.346), BMI (r=0.318), and IRI (r=0.200).However, there were no significant correlations between BPs and CHO, between BPs and TG, between BPs and SGPT. SGPT showed the significant positive correlation with IRI (r=0.367), BMI (r=0.268), and TG (r=0.343); but no significant correlations were observed in relations between SGPT and PG, between SGPT and BPs, between SGPT and CHO. IRI showed the significant positive correlations with TG (r=0.234), and PG (r=0.427). These data suggest that IRI has an effect on BPs and SGPT. The effect of IRI on BPs relates with PG but does not relate with serum lipid. The effect of IRI on SGPT relates with TG but not with PG.
