  1. Data were adjusted to sex, age, and BMI and are presented as mean ± S.E
  2. a subjects carrying both non-risk alleles of APOC3 and APOE
  3. b subjects carrying both risk alleles of APOC3 and APOE
  4. ** P < 0.01. The percent (%) change of each lipid level due to carrying the combination of the risk alleles of APOC3 and APOE was calculated by dividing the mean value of the difference between CC + CT/CC + CT and TT/TT genotypes of APOC3/APOE by the mean value of CC + CT/CC + CT genotype and multiply the answer by 100
