  1. LDL low density lipoprotein, HDL high density lipoprotein, NR not reported, RSME root square mean error
  2. 1Each value is ten pooled samples per egg source used for determination of total lipids, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, malondialdhyde and total antioxidant capacity analyses
  3. abc Means within a row sharing common superscripts are significantly different

  5. 3Atherogenic index was calculated according to Laudadio et al. [10] as the ratio of LDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol
  6. 4Atherogenic index was calculated using the equation proposed by Ulbricht and Southgate (1991)
