  1. Patients, n = 80; Controls, n = 50. Normally distributed data are expressed as means±SD, and non normally distributed data are expressed as median (IQR [interquartile range]). CT Cholesterol, LDLc Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG Triglycerides, HDLc High-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The difference is significant compared with the control group (P ≤ 0.05)
