Biochemical characterization of the whole fraction and corresponding purified LVP
| Fraction density | Ratio of the indicated lipidsa in:

| TG/Chol | TG/ApoB | TG/Chol | TG/ApoB | |
| <1.006 | 3.4 ± 1.7 | 15 ± 1.3b | 3.1 ± 1.6 | 160 ± 47b |
| 1.025-1.055 | 0.42 ± 0.2c | 0.8 ± 0.2b | 2.8 ± 1.9c | 26 ± 20b |
a
TG, triglycerides; Chol, cholesterol. Cholesterol data were obtained from six samples, and ApoB data were obtained from four samples.
b
The P value for a comparison of TG/ApoB ratios between whole fraction and purified LVP was ≤0.04.
c
The P value for a comparison of TG/Chol ratios between whole fraction and purified LVP was ≤0.01.
