Figure 2.
Graph of D-LDL-C and C-LDL-C difference with corresponding triglyceride values for the periods 2000 (solid black line), 2002 (dashed gray line) and 2005 (dashed black line) using 3 different assays. In the parenthesis are shown the mean and the standard deviation of D-LDL-C and C-LDL-C difference for the 3 corresponding assay results. This Figure illustrates that differences between D-LDL-C and C-LDL-C increase as triglyceride levels increase, most striking in the 2000 time period.
