Biochemical analyses were carried out on venous blood withdrawn after overnight fasting (at least 12 h). Plasma was obtained by addition of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (NaImmediately after centrifugation, trained personnel performed laboratory analyses according to standardized methods [LDL-C was obtained using the Friedewald formula.
