a
Calculations are based on the Pearson correlation coefficient values with significance. TC, total cholesterol; CE, cholesteryl ester; fC, free cholesterol; TG, total triglyceride; PL, phospholipid; TP, total protein.
b
NA, not applicable; analysis was not performed due to a lack of sufficient data.
c
P < 0.05.
