Circulating Malondialdehyde-Modified LDL-Related Variables and Coronary Artery Stenosis in Asymptomatic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Table 2

Comparison of MDA-LDL-related variables according to the degrees of coronary artery stenosis.

	Degrees of coronary artery stenosis				value
	<25%	25–<50%	50–<75%	75%-
	n = 11	n = 8	n = 5	n = 12
MDA-LDL (U/L)	81 ± 46	55 ± 26	75 ± 29	101 ± 64	0.236
MDA-LDL/LDL-C (U/mmol)	26.3 ± 10.7	19.2 ± 13.7	28.1 ± 11.0	34.9 ± 11.2	0.044
MDA-LDL/HDL-C (U/mmol)	76.4 ± 54.0	46.5 ± 23.0	69.3 ± 24.3	113.2 ± 85.0	0.116
(MDA-LDL/LDL-C)/HDL-C (U·L/mmol^2)	24.6 ± 13.6	16.9 ± 13.8	26.5 ± 9.5	38.6 ± 15.9	0.013

Data are mean ± SD. MDA-LDL: malondialdehyde-modified LDL; MDA-LDL-C/LDL-C: MDA-LDL-to-LDL cholesterol ratio; MDA-LDL-C/HDL-C: MDA-LDL-to-HDL cholesterol ratio; (MDA-LDL/LDL-C)/HDL-C: (MDA-LDL/LDL-C) to HDL cholesterol ratio.
