  1. *Smoking defined as any reported use of tobacco.
  2. **One value excluded as > 15 SD above the mean.
  3. ***N = number of samples from TT and CC individuals respectively.
  4. ****p value for comparison of ln transformed CRP/GAPDH ratios. The means are non-transformed for ease of comparison.
