Post Hoc Analysis of the CE/WE Molar Ratio Calculated Using the 1, 0.63, and 4.2 ppm Resonances in Samples With and Without a 4.6 ppm Resonance

	CE/WE Molar Ratio
	Non-MGD	Mild-to-Moderate MGD	Severe MGD
No detectable 4.6 ppm resonance	0.21 ± 0.03 (9)	0.15 ± 0.06 (10)	0.18 ± 0.02 (19)
Detectable 4.6 ppm resonance	0.46 ± 0.06 (15)	0.34 ± 0.04 (11)	0.33 ± 0.05 (6)
P, no detectable vs detectable 4.6 ppm resonance	0.0094	0.0022	0.007

CE, cholesteryl ester; WE, wax ester.
