Values are shown as median [IQR]. Lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides are expressed as mg/dL. P-Value: Wilcoxon Mann Whitney-test. Boldface indicates statistical significance (P < 0.05). 1H-NMR: Proton nuclear magnetic resonance; Very low-, low-, intermediate- and high- density lipoprotein (VLDL, LDL, IDL and HDL, respectively). c: Cholesterol; tg: Triglycerides
