  1. Values are means ± SE. T0: Patients at the beginning of study, T1, T2 and T3: patients after 3, 6 and 9 years of the beginning of study, respectively. Comparison of the means was performed by ANOVA and using Mann-Whitney test: * T1, T2, T3 vs T0. * P < 0.05, ***P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. LPL: Lipoprotein lipase, HL: Hepatic lipase, TG: Triacylglycerol, TC: Total cholesterol, Apo: Apolipoprotein, AU: Arbitrary units.
