^*Results are expressed as mean (SD) except Lp(a), which is reported as median. Results listed last in brackets are percent change from baseline. LDL indicates low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; aĀpo B, apolipoprotein B; Rf, relative flotation; apo A-I, apolipoprotein A-I; and Lp(a), lipoprotein(a).
