Correlations of EL with (A) IDL-C/IDL-apoB, (B) IDL-FC/IDL-apoB, (C) IDL-TG/IDL-apoB, and (D) IDL-PL/IDL-apoB in HVs and MS patients. IDL parameters used for the calculations of the ratios were in mg/dL. Correlations were quantified using Spearman’s correlation coefficient. p-values < 0.05 are considered statistically significant. C, cholesterol; FC, free cholesterol; HV, healthy volunteer; IDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein; mL, milliliter; MS, metabolic syndrome patient; r, Spearman’s correlation coefficient; TG, triglyceride; pg, picogram; PL, phospholipid.
