Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to evaluate associations of the serum levels of EL with the ratios indicating lipid content of IDL particles. Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and IL-6. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and CRP. Model 3: adjusted for age, sex, and statin. Model 4: adjusted for age, sex, and hypertension. p-values < 0.05 are considered statistically significant and are depicted in bold. ApoB, apolipoprotein B; C, cholesterol; EL, endothelial lipase; FC, free cholesterol; HV, healthy volunteer; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; mL, milliliter; MS, metabolic syndrome patient; N, number; pg, picogram; PL, phospholipid; r, Spearman’s correlation coefficient; TG, triglyceride.
