In this population without prevalent cardiovascular diseases or lipid-modifying medication, markers of increased endogenous cholesterol synthesis correlated positively with cIMT, while markers of cholesterol absorption showed a weakly negative correlation.
We found that no TE families are correlated with interaction frequency in non-intra-domains, except for DNA transposons in IMR90 fibroblasts with a weakly negative correlation (r = −0.377, P = 0.013, Table S1).
In contrast, plant sterols used as markers of cholesterol absorption showed a weakly negative correlation with cIMT.
The absolute concentration of sitosterol did not correlate with cIMT (r = −0.05, P<0.27); the sitosterol-to-cholesterol ratio showed a weakly negative correlation with cIMT (r = −0.17, P<0.0005).
In contrast to serum cholesterol and the cholesterol precursor lathosterol, serum levels of the plant sterol campesterol and the campesterol-to-cholesterol ratio showed a weakly negative correlation with cIMT (r = −0.08, P<0.04, and r = −0.18, P<0.001, respectively).
The correlation coefficient is −0.293 reflecting a weakly negative correlation.
Significant enrichment at the part of weakly negative correlation and anti-enrichment at the part of positive correlation were observed for these interactions.
As we would expect, the share of migrants itself has a (weakly) significant negative correlation with productivity in model 4, which just about slips into insignificance if secondary enrolment is included as control variable, resulting in the loss of 16 observations (column 5).12 None of the significant effects of rents in Table 1 obtain if HRCs are left out of the model.
TNFα exhibited a moderately significant correlation with the total score and its 3 subscales, whereas IL-6 exhibited a weakly significant negative correlation with the subscale of stiffness.
K+ and Mg2+ are correlated with each other but show negative correlation with NO3 −.
