Table 3. The significant correlation between MOTS-c and lipid profile in the control group.

*p < 0.05 is statistically significant.

non-HDL: non-high-density cholesterol; VLDL: very low-density cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; MOTS-c: mitochondrial open-reading-frame of the 12S rRNA-c

	MOTS-c
Non-HDL	p = 0.006*; r = 0.423
VLDL	p = 0.003*; r = 0.448
TG	p = 0.001*; r = 0.489
Total cholesterol	p = 0.018*; r = 0.369
