To measure serum TC, LDL/VLDL-C, HDL-C, and TG, commercial assay kits [HDL and LDL/VLDL Cholesterol Assay Kit, STA-391 (Cell Biolabs Inc., San Diego, CA, USA); Triglyceride Quantification Colorimetric/Fluorometric Kit, K622-100, Biovision Inc. (Milpitas, CA, USA)] were used according to manufacturer instructions. Absorbance at 570 nm was read with a PowerWave HT Microplate Spectrophotometer (BioTek Instruments Inc., Winooski, VT, USA). Sample cholesterol concentrations were determined by interpolation from a standard curve.
