The different letters in superscript indicate statistically significant differences between +choline (b, B) versus −choline (a, A) treatment. The values marked with stars in superscript indicate statistically significant differences between +apoLp-III versus −apoLp-III treatment. Statistical significance, * p ≤ 0.05 and ** p ≤ 0.01.
