^a Values are presented as mean ± SD or percentage of daily energy intake.
^b SFA, saturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; TFA, trans fatty acids.
^c P value from the main effect of diet in the Mixed model (n = 26) for data expressed in g or mg/d. There is no variation in nutrient intake expressed in% of calories because all subjects received the same diet regimen based on a 2500 kcal/d menu.
