TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ApoA-I, apolipoprotein A-I; ApoB, apolipoprotein B. The value of TG was presented as median (interquartile range). The difference among the genotypes was determined by the Kruskal-Wallis test. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 in comparison with CC genotype of the same subgroup;^cP < 0.05 and ^dP < 0.01 in comparison with CG genotype of the same subgroup;*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 in comparison with the same subgroup of the nondrinkers.
