  1. Results are presented as median, minimum and maximum. Significant differences between MetS and noMetS patients were calculated with Mann-Whitney U-test and are depicted in bold. HDL-high density lipoprotein; LDL-low-density lipoprotein; IL-6-interleukin 6; hsCRP-C-reactive protein; EL-endothelial lipase; LVLDL-p –large very low-density lipoprotein particles; TLDL-p –total LDL particles; LLDL-p –large LDL particles; SLDL-p –small LDL-p; THDL-p –total HDL-particles; LHDL-p –large HDL-p; SHDL-p –small HDL-p; VLDL-s –VLDL size; LDL-s –LDL size; HDL-s –HDL size; n- number of samples in which particular parameter was analysed.
  2. Reference values: Triglycerides (mmol/L) 0.5–1.8 (male); 0.5–1.5 (female); total cholesterol (mmol/L) 3.5–5.2; HDL-cholesterol (mmol/L) ≥1.4 (male); ≥1.7 (female); LDL-cholesterol (mmol/L) 2.0–3.9. aSI measurements. To convert to mg/dL, multiply Triglycerides by 89 and total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol or LDL-cholesterol by 39.
