Plasma HDL- and LDL-cholesterol concentrations in critically ill adult patients. Plasma HDL- (a) and LDL- (b) cholesterol concentrations from admission day until day five in matched glucocorticoid-treated patients (n = 162) and glucocorticoid-free patients (n = 162). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. The solid and dashed line connect the mean of each day. Reference control values from Laboratory diagnostic measurements: HDL-cholesterol = 48.4 mg/dL; LDL-cholesterol = 132.5 mg/dL. SEM, standard error of the mean; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; MANOVA, multivariate analysis of variance; n, sample size
