Comparison of MDA-LDL-related variables according to the degrees of coronary artery stenosis.
| Degrees of coronary artery stenosis | P value | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| <25% | 25–<50% | 50–<75% | 75%- | ||
| n = 11 | n = 8 | n = 5 | n = 12 | ||
| MDA-LDL (U/L) | 81 ± 46 | 55 ± 26 | 75 ± 29 | 101 ± 64 | 0.236 |
| MDA-LDL/LDL-C (U/mmol) | 26.3 ± 10.7 | 19.2 ± 13.7 | 28.1 ± 11.0 | 34.9 ± 11.2 | 0.044 |
| MDA-LDL/HDL-C (U/mmol) | 76.4 ± 54.0 | 46.5 ± 23.0 | 69.3 ± 24.3 | 113.2 ± 85.0 | 0.116 |

Data are mean ± SD. MDA-LDL: malondialdehyde-modified LDL; MDA-LDL-C/LDL-C: MDA-LDL-to-LDL cholesterol ratio; MDA-LDL-C/HDL-C: MDA-LDL-to-HDL cholesterol ratio; (MDA-LDL/LDL-C)/HDL-C: (MDA-LDL/LDL-C) to HDL cholesterol ratio.
