Data were expressed as mean ± SE. General Line Model (GLM) was used for data analysis. Factors including age, BMI, smoking, alcohol drinking and physical activity levels were adjusted. P-value < 0.05 was considered as significance. TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; ApoE, Apolipoprotein E.
