Comparison of calculated remnant lipoprotein cholesterol levels with levels directly measured by nuclear magnetic resonance

Figures

• 

  Fig. 1. Comparisons between LDL-Ce levels and LDL-Cn levels or the sum levels of LDL-Cn and IDL-C. The sum levels of LDL-Cn and IDL-C = LDL-Cn + IDL-C; Fasting state(a), 2 h postprandial state (b), 4 h postprandial state (c). *** means P value < 0.001; ** means P value < 0.01; * means P value < 0.05

  Fig. 2. Changes in levels of blood lipids at 2 h and 4 h after a daily breakfast. Postprandial changes in levels of TGe (a), TCe (b), HDL-Ce (c), LDL-Ce (d), TGn (e), TCn (f), HDL-Cn (g), LDL-Cn (h) in different groups after a daily breakfast. Black indicate P value for all subjects; Blue indicate P value for non-CAD group; Red indicate P value for CAD group; When 2 h postprandial value compared with fasting value, *** means P value < 0.001, ** means P value < 0.01, * means P value < 0.05. When 4 h postprandial value compared with fasting value, ### means P value < 0.001, ## means P value < 0.01, # means P value < 0.05

  Fig. 3. Changes in levels of RCe and RCn at 2 h and 4 h after a daily breakfast. Postprandial changes in levels of RCe (a), RCn (b), in different groups after a daily breakfast; Black indicate P value for all subjects; Blue indicate P value for non-CAD group; Red indicate P value for CAD group; When 2 h postprandial value compared with fasting value, *** means P value < 0.001, ** means P value < 0.01, * means P value < 0.05. When 4 h postprandial value compared with fasting value, ### means P value < 0.001, ## means P value < 0.01, # means P value < 0.05

  Fig. 4. Comparisons between RCe and RCn in different groups at different time points. TGe-low group: < 150 mg/dL; TGe-high group: ≥ 150 mg/dL. (a) Incorporating all data of fasting, 2 h postprandial and 4 h postprandial RCe, RCn and TGe into statistical analysis; (b) in all subjects; (c) in non-CAD group; (d) in CAD group. *** means P value < 0.001; ** means P value < 0.01; * means P value < 0.05

  Fig. 5. Comparisons between RCe and RCn at different TG levels in all subjects.(A) Incorporating all data of fasting, 2 h postprandial and 4 h postprandial RCe, RCn and TGe into statistical analysis, comparison between RCe and RCn in all quartiles of TGe, Q1: TGe ≤ 105.31 mg/dL, Q2: TGe = 105.32–157.08 mg/dL; Q3: TGe = 157.09–232.74 mg/dL; Q4: TGe > 232.74 mg/dL; *** means P value < 0.001; ** means P value < 0.01
