Values are shown as median and interquartile range (mg/dL). Paired t-tests; p<0.05. TC: total cholesterol; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; apo-A: apolipoprotein-A; apo-B: apolipoprotein-B; NS: not significant. Only apo-B showed non-parametric distribution.
