  1. Data are mean ± SEM (range), or number of subjects. Abbreviations as in Table 1. Parameters with p<0.05 in univariate analysis were subsequently entered into stepwise regression analysis as significant and independent variables. EPA (adopted parameters; LDL-C, HDL-C, DHA, AA), DHA (adopted parameters; LDL-C, Log-TG, EPA, AA), AA (adopted parameters; age, BMI, Log-eVFA, HOMA-IR, eGFR, LDL-C, log-TG, EPA, DHA).
