range HDL 1 has not been accurately determined (previously published densities vary<br />

between 1.025 and 1.1). 8 Studies in humans that have determined the density of HDL 1<br />

suggest that the density of this molecule is around 1.08 g/mL, which would suggest that<br />

it corresponds with HDL 2b and possibly HDL 2a . 283<br />

Statistical analysis<br />

Commercial statistical software packages were used for all statistical<br />

analyses. m,n,o Data were analyzed for normal distribution using the Shapiro-Wilk test.<br />

Normally distributed data were analyzed using t-tests, while not normally distributed<br />

data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney tests. Sliced-inverse regression was used to test<br />

the hypothesis that there is a relationship between the group and the lipoprotein profiles.<br />

Non-parametric correlations were used to test a linear relationship between parameters.<br />

Significance was set at P
