Figure 7From: Taurine in health and diseases: consistent evidence from experimental and epidemiological studiesEffect of taurine on blood pressure in male greater salt eaters with faster heart rate. Male greater salt eaters were defined as shown in Figure 6 and analyzed only in those whose heart rate (HR) were recorded. T/Cr: 24-hour urinary taurine (T, mmol) to creatinine (Cr, g) ratio. T/Cr: + ≧ mean (= 639.4), - < mean, HR: + ≧ mean (= 72.9), - < mean. SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure. Parenthesis indicates a number of participants. Significant difference: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.Back to article page
