The association of lipid profile parameters and ApoE allele in T2DM patients.

Group name	Number	TC	TG	HDL	LDL
A	13
B	47
C	10
LSD-t,	A vs. B	0.759	0.566	0.627	0.437
	A vs. C	0.773	0.442	0.695	0.218

T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus; PAD: peripheral arterial disease; TG: triglycerides; TC: total cholesterol; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; A: ε2 carriers (ε2/ε3 and ε2/ε2) of T2DM patients; B: ε3/ε3 carriers (ε3/ε3) of T2DM patients; C: ε4 carriers (ε3/ε4 and ε4/ε4) of T2DM patients.
