Table 5 Standard least-squares regression analysis to examine whether transsulphuration pathway–related variables predict recumbent diastolic and systolic blood pressure (mm Hg). Data are examined without reference to the standard >140/90 mm Hg index for defining hypertension. Data show p (r ² and slope estimate) values for all subjects, males and females
