Table 3 Significant correlations between cIMT, oxLDL Ab, CETP (%) and PLTP (%) in the presence of minor alleles

From: The I405V and Taq1B polymorphisms of the CETP gene differentially affect sub-clinical carotid atherosclerosis

cIMT *versus*	V carriers		cIMT *versus*	B2 carriers
	r	p value ≤		r	p value ≤
CETP (%) n=88	−0.363	0.0001	CETP (%) n=87	−0.427	0.0001
oxLDL Ab (OD) n=54	0.409	0.002	oxLDL Ab (OD) n=51	0.432	0.002
PLTP (%) n=85	0.322	0.003	PLTP (%) n=84	0.315	0.004

r= Spearman´s coefficient; Significant differences: p≤0.05 in bold. cIMT= carotid intima-media thickness; oxLDL Ab= antibodies against oxidized LDL titers; (OD) = optical density; CETP(%) = activity of cholesteryl ester transfer protein; PLTP (%) = activity of phospholipid transfer protein.
