Oxidative Stress: An Effective Prognostic Tool for an Early Detection of Cardiovascular Disease in Menopausal Women

Figure 1

Levels of lipid profile in normolipidemic CVD and non-CVD menopausal women. TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol; VLDL-C, very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol; AIP [] is taken as an index of LDL particle size; MW, menopausal women. significant difference observed in the levels of HDL-C, LDL-C, and AIP between normolipidemic CVD and non-CVD menopausal women. Note. Due to small range of AIP values (mean ± SD), the bars are not visible (AIP value in non-CVD MW is 0.11 ± 0.05 and in CVD MW it is 0.19 ± 0.04).
