We received venous blood samples from all subjects after at least 12 h of fasting. The enzymatic methods with commercially available kits, including Tcho-1, TG-LH (RANDOX Laboratories Ltd., Ardmore, Diamond Road, Crumlin Co., Antrim, UK, BT29 4QY), Cholestest N HDL, and Cholestest LDL (Daiichi Pure Chemicals Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) were used for detecting levels of serum TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C, respectively, in samples. However, the immunoturbidimetric immunoassay (RANDOX Laboratories Ltd.) was needed to explore serum ApoA1 and ApoB concentrations. All determinations were performed with an autoanalyzer (Type 7170A; Hitachi Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) in the Clinical Science Experiment Center of the First Affiliated Hospital, Guangxi Medical University [37 (link)–48 ].
