Partial correlations (r) of BCAAs and AAAs with other parameters in 192 healthy subjects, adjusted for age and gender.

*P**P***PFor lipoprotein subfractions, 111 cases were analyzed. BCAA represents the sum of concentrations of Val, Ile and Leu; AAA represents the sum of concentrations of Tyr and Phe; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FBG, fasting blood glucose; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; HDL2, high-density lipoprotein of d 1.063–1.125 kg/l; HDL3, high-density lipoprotein of d 1.125–1.210 kg/l; LDLb, small-dense LDL; LDLa, large-buoyant LDL. Val, valine; Ile, isoleucine; Leu, leucine; Tyr, tyrosine; Phe, phenylalanine.
