Search for: [Abstract = "=0.049\) blood pressure over 24 hours. Such relation was not shown for the population receiving antihypertensives. In the study population, there was no significant difference in the concentration of VEGF\-C levels between individuals with hypertension and normotensives. In univariate analysis there was demonstrated a significant, positive correlation between the concentration of serum VEGF\-C and the extracellular fluid volume \(r = 0.1897 p 0.0047\) as well as plasma concentration of aldosterone \(r 0.1406 p=0.0148\). This correlation was more pronounced in the subgroup of patients not treated with antihypertensives \(r 0.23623 p=0.003 and r 0.0148, p=0.0015\). Using stepwise regression analysis as the determinants of plasma VEGF\-C levels there were selected\: extracellular fluid volume \(r2 0.038, p=0.0047\), plasma aldosterone levels \(r2 0.0635 p=0.0123\) and plasma levels of myeloperoxidase \(r2 0.0752 p=0.0996\). The proposed model explained 7.5% of the observed variability in concentrations of VEGF\-C. In the study group, we did not observed any interaction between serum VEGF\-C, sodium excretion and blood pressure throughout 24 hours, daytime and nighttime. While analysing subgroup of participants never treated with antihypertensive medications we observed negative interaction between concentration of VEGF\-C and excretion of sodium and night\-time diastolic blood pressure \(β \-0.0014, p=0"]
