  1. Values are presented as mean(SE). Mean difference was analyzed by ANCOVA adjusted age and gender.
  2. Means in row with superscript letter differ as defined pos hoc analysis.
  3. aThe significant difference between normal (normotension) and pre-hypertension (p-value < 0.05).
  4. bThe significant difference between normal and hypertension (p-value < 0.05).
  5. cThe significant difference between pre-hypertension and hypertension (p-value < 0.05).
