Results Since the frequency distributions of serum uric acid, triglyceride, cholesterol, FFA,
and phospholipid levels and of the percentages of lipoprotein fractions are of the log normal
type, log-log plots are executed to consider the possible correlations between the
parameters. Regression curves were calculated on the log-log plots for each pair of serum
levels in the control group. Table I shows that this investigation revealed an absence of
significant correlation (2a< 0 05) in the majority ofcases. A log-log correlationwas, how-ever …

Table I shows that this investigation revealed an absence of significant correlation (2a< 0 05) in the majority ofcases. A log-log correlationwas, how-ever, found between the triglyceride levelsand cholesterol, and the a-and the,-lipoprotein levels.
