Changes in a HDL-cholesterol / Apo A1 molar ratio, b LDL-cholesterol / Apo B molar ratio and c PC / Cholesterol molar ratio at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after Roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery in three patient subgroups: NDM, patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) (solid line and circles); DMH-NDM, patients with DM in remission after RYGB (dashed line and boxes) and DMH-DMH, patients with DM and continued hyperglycemia after RYGB (dotted line and triangles). Data are shown as mean. Significant different values compared with corresponding preoperative value are shown as * (p < 0.05), ** (p < 0.01) and ns (not significant) in the order NDM, DMH-NDM, DMH-DMH. The number of patients (N) for whom we have data at each time point are also shown in the order NDM/DMH-NDM/DMH-DMH at the bottom of each figure
