  1. Values are expressed as Pearson’s correlation coefficient and p values. *, p<0.05.
  2. The relationships between sizes of lipoprotein particles and CM cholesterol and triglyceride levels were evaluated by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.
  3. Abbreviations: CM, chylomicron; VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; r, Pearson’s correlation coefficient; F3-20, Fractions 3–20.
