Interaction between APOA2 −265T>C polymorphism and the DTAC: FRAP (a), TRAP (b), TEAC (c), and ORAC (d) intake on serum total cholesterol level. According to the median dietary TAC the participants were dichotomized into “high” and “low” categories (≤, > of median), FRAP (≤15.94, 15.95 > mmol Fe²⁺/d); TRAP (≤8.25, 8.26 > mmol TE/d); TEAC (≤7.46, 7.47> mmol TE/d); ORAC (≤27296.21, 27296.22> μmol TE/d). P*; crude, P1; model 1, and P2; model 2. P* interactions are obtained with the General Linear Model (Two-Way ANOVA). The P1 value of the interaction (Model 1) is adjusted for sex (as categorical), supplement use (as categorical), smoking (as categorical), fiber, and total energy intake (as continuous). In model 2, in addition to the variables of model 1, it was also adjusted based on the variables of age (as continuous), lipid-lowering medicine (as categorical) and BMI (as continuous) using the ANCOVA test. Independent Samples t-test was used to compare the serum total cholesterol level in the two categories of antioxidant intake. The bars indicate mean (SD).
