Table 1 Dysbetalipoproteinemia indices

Index	Patient’s2 values	Indicative for dysbetali-poproteinemia values
TC/TG (mg/dL)	1.01	Approximately 1
ApoB/TC (mg/dL)	0.23	< 0.33
ApoB/non-HDL-C (mg/dL)	0.27	< 0.38
VLDL-C/PLASMA TG (mg/dL)	0.35	> 0.3
VLDL-C/VLDL-TG (mg/dL)	1.06	> 0.96
TG/ApoB (mg/dL)	4.40	> 4.29
ApoE/ApoB (mg/dL)	0.20	> 0.15

TC: Total cholesterol; TG: Triglycerides; ApoB: Apolipoprotein B; VLDL-C: Very low density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL-TG: Very low density lipoprotein triglycerides; ApoE: Apolipoprotein E; Non-HDL-C: Non high density lipoprotein cholesterol.
