- Results are from the models reported in Table 2. Since the outcome variables of SDMA and ADMA:SDMA had been log-transformed prior to analysis, the resulting coefficients were anti-logged, and converted into gradients representing the percentage increase in the outcome for a one unit increase in the factor. For the log-transformed factors, this is equivalent to the change associated with a twofold increase in the untransformed factor. Bold p values are significant at p < 0.05
