Comparison of plasma PAGln levels based on stroke risk factors among intragroup of first-onset stroke subjects, recurrent stroke subjects, and non-stroke controls. A Pearson correlation analysis between PAGln level and continuous variables of stroke risk factors. Intergroup comparison of plasma PAGln levels based on (B) drinking habits, C ratio of apolipoprotein A1/B, D DBP value, and E age. The p value for the comparison between every two groups was obtained by Student t-test, and among three groups was obtained by ANNOVA design. Error bars, transverse-line and quadrate in box plots indicate 1.5 IQR, median and mean, respectively
