Apo apolipoprotein, C cholesterol, FCR fractional catabolic rate, HDL high density lipoprotein, PR production rate, PS pool size, TG triglycerides, VLDL very low density lipoprotein. Values are presented as mean ± SD and percentage of change from values after the control diet.
^a P value from the main effect of diet in the Mixed model (n = 26).
^b Analysis was performed on log-transformed values.
