  1. Continuous variables are expressed in mean ± SD
  2. TC total cholesterol level, VLDL very low density lipoprotein concentration, LDL-C low density lipoprotein cholesterol level, HDL-C high density lipoprotein level and TG: triglycerides level
  3. aindicates the significance of difference between the means of CHD vs controls
  4. bindicates the significance of difference between the means of Obeses vs controls
  5. cindicates the significance of difference between means of all groups as tested by ANOVA
