Simple regression analysis between vascular reactivity and components of metabolic syndrome in men without (n = 18, open circles) or with (n = 19, gray circles) metabolic syndrome. FBF at an Ach infusion of 400 nmol/min, FBF at an SNP infusion of 30 nmol/min, and ∆Ach-induced maximal FBF by co-infusion of L-NMMA at 8 μmol/min. Linear regression analysis was done, and r and p values are shown
