EDTA-plasma, pre-storage handling effects: Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients between metabolic trait concentration/value in reference samples (4 °C, 1.5 h) and samples incubated at (i) 4 °C, 24 h; (ii) 4 °C, 48 h; (iii) 21 °C, 24 h; and (iv) 21 °C, 48h, before centrifugation (correlations for lipoprotein trait details are given in Figure S2, Supplementary Materials). Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are listed in Table S3, Supplementary Materials. C, cholesterol; IDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; VLDL, very low-density lipoprotein.
