The main metabolic risk factors were IR in 19 (51.4%) individuals, hypoalphalipoproteinemia in 18 (48.6%), elevated TG in 18 (48.6%), elevated VLDL-c in 16 (43.2%), increased TC in 14 (37.8%), increased LDL-c in 10 (27.0%), elevated GGT in 8 (21.6%), and elevated ALT in 7 (18.9%) subjects. Here, GPT is linked to apolipoprotein A-I deficiency.
