That data has always bothered me - it says baseline TGs were 300 +/-233, a ridiculously huge spread (67 to 533!?!), but if you use the Friedewald equation to solve for TGs using measurements of TC, HDL, and LDL, you see it's mathematically impossible to have TGs of even 300 - used the avg. numbers and solve for TGs, answer is FIVE (245-47-148 = 50/5). Furthermore, it was not common to directly measure LDL in 1995, and it's still not common today, your PCP will normally run a standard lipid test and calculates LDL The Friedewald equation cannot be used when TGs are > 400 or < 100, so with that massive TG spread they would have had to directly measure LDL - that 300 +/- 233 data just appears to be contaminated in some way, like the lab delivered bad test results.
