Specifically, 97% of non-hypertriglyceridemic Miniature Schnauzers could be<br />

classified as correctly, and 94% of hypertriglyceridemic Miniature Schnauzers could be<br />

classified correctly based on their lipoprotein profiles alone. By far, the most important<br />

lipoprotein fraction that served as a predictor was the TRL fraction, which was more<br />

prominent in the dogs with hypertriglyceridemia. Fractions corresponding to LDL 2 ,<br />

LDL 3 , LDL 4 , were more prominent in Miniature Schnauzers with serum triglyceride<br />

concentrations within the reference interval (Figures 14A and 14B).<br />

Correlations<br />

Non-parametric correlation tests were used to test whether there was a linear<br />

relationship between lipoprotein fractions that showed significance in the SIR models<br />

and serum triglyceride and/or cholesterol concentrations. There was a significant<br />

positive correlation between TRL intensity and serum triglyceride concentration<br />

(Spearman r=0.81; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.87; P
