HDL functions in controls, ACS baseline and ACS follow-up. a HDL mediated cholesterol efflux capacity measured using BODIPY-cholesterol loaded THP-1 macrophages, b Arylesterase activity (phenyl acetate hydrolyzing activity) and c Paraoxonase activity (paraoxon-hydrolyzing activity) of PON1 in control and ACS patients at baseline and follow-up. Statistical analysis to determine the difference between two groups was performed using student t test. Data are shown as mean ± SD. Stars represents significance. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001. ns represents non-significant
