Recent studies show that an inflammatory factor named retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) was increased with cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between RBP4 and hypertension in patients remains unclear.
Methods: The study cohort was composed of patients with essential hypertension (EH) and healthy control (HC) subjects from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University [2017–2019]. The levels of RBP4 and echocardiography were compared in the current study. Statistical differences between two groups were analyzed using unpaired Student’s t-tests and the correlation between the two variables adopts Pearson correlation analysis. SPSS 23.0 was used for all statistical analysis.
Results: Analysis of patient plasma samples revealed that RBP4 in EH group was greater than HC group (P},
