Stata doesn't store the t-stats or the p-values, but you can get the t-stats if
you know the t-stats are the parameter estimates divided by the standard error, 
both of which are stored by -regress-. And once you know the t-stat you can find
the p-value, using the function ttail, see: -help function-. Also see the example 
below:

*----------- begin example -----------------
sysuse auto, clear
regress price weight mpg if foreign == 0
regress price weight mpg if foreign == 1

statsby tweight = (_b[weight]/_se[weight]) /*
     */ pweight = (2 * ttail(e(df_r), abs(_b[weight]/_se[weight]))) /*
     */ tmpg    = (_b[mpg]/_se[mpg]) /*
     */ pmpg    = (2 * ttail(e(df_r), abs(_b[mpg]/_se[mpg]))) /*
     */, by(for): regress price weight mpg
list
*----------- end example ------------------
