Certain significant relationships were predictable according to the literature, such as the waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) (a), the effect of age raising the plasma LDL-C concentration (b), lowering the post-heparin lipoprotein lipase (c) [33], an inverse association of plasma TG and HDL-C concentrations (d) as well as a marker of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) varying directly with the waist circumference (e) [34] and inversely with post-heparin LPL activity (f) [35]. Here, LPL is linked to Insulin resistance.
