2.3. Lipid and Lipoprotein Profiles
TG
After excluding the participants showing low compliance, who consumed a significantly more fat diet, heavy drinking, and smoking, during the 12-week consumption, the policosanol group (n = 15) showed 6.3% higher HDL-C (On the other hand, the TC and TG levels in the policosanol group were relatively unaffected at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12. Repeated measures ANOVA of TC, TG, LDL-C, and RC levels during the 12 weeks showed no difference between the policosanol group (n = 15) and the placebo group (n = 17) in terms of time and group interaction. On the other hand, at week 12, the policosanol group showed a 3% lower TG/HDL-C ratio than the placebo group (
