  1. Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
  2. LDL: low-density lipoprotein, MetSyn: metabolic syndrome, LDL-F: LDL-cholesterol by Friedewald, LDL-P: LDL-cholesterol by Planella, LDL-H: LDL-cholesterol by Hattori, LDL-A: LDL-cholesterol by AMORIS, LDL-W: LDL-cholesterol by Wagner, LDL-L: LDL-cholesterol by the Lipoprint LDL system. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Least Significance Difference (LSD) for paired comparisons *p < 0.001, **p ≤ 0.01 compared to LDL-F.
