Apo, apolipoprotein; CAD, coronary artery disease; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment–insulin resistance. Data are means ± SD. P values calculated using Student's t-test. Values for triglycerides, insulin and HOMA-IR were logarithmically transformed before analyses. Nontransformed values are shown.

a

P < 0.05 compared with H1/H1 across CAD status.

b

P < 0.05 compared with H1/H2, H2/H2 across CAD status.
