The elevated total cholesterol levels were associated with increase in both LDLc and HDLc, but the ratio of total cholesterol: HDLc was unchanged or improved in long term studies.
Pikaajalistes uuringutes seostati üldkolesterooli sisalduse suurenemist nii LDLc kui HDLc taseme tõusuga, kuid üldkolesterooli: HDLc suhe ei muutunud või paranes.
