  1. Values are presented as mean ± SEM. P values were obtained using one-way ANOVA in SPSS version 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Bold characters are used to indicate significant effects (P < 0.05).
  2. ApoE: Apolipoprotein E; BMI: Body mass index; CRP: C-reactive protein; HDL-C: High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; NEFA: Non-esterified fatty acids; TG: Triacylglycerol.
