Correlation analyses of serum levels of EL with serum levels of lipids and apoB in LDL subclass 1 in HV.
| EL (pg/mL) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unadjusted | Model 1 | Model 2 | ||||
| Variable (mg/dL) | r | p | r | p | r | p |
| LDL1-TG | 0.26 | 0.035 | 0.19 | 0.136 | 0.19 | 0.143 |
| LDL1-PL | 0.26 | 0.040 | 0.22 | 0.086 | 0.22 | 0.094 |
| LDL1-apoB | 0.25 | 0.042 | 0.22 | 0.086 | 0.21 | 0.097 |
Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to evaluate associations between the serum levels of EL and the serum levels of lipids and apoB in LDL subclass 1. Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and IL-6. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and CRP. p-values < 0.05 are considered statistically significant and are depicted in bold. ApoB, apolipoprotein B; BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-reactive protein; EL, endothelial lipase; HV, healthy volunteer; IL-6, interleukin-6; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; mL, milliliter; N, number; pg, picogram; PL, phospholipid; r, Spearman’s correlation coefficient; TG, triglyceride.
