aThe fasting values are from the spectra taken before the oGTT, the non-fasting vales were extrapolated to time t = 0 from the spectra of reserve samples of the blood donors. < d > , average particle diameter and < V > average volume calculated with the diameters given in Methods assuming a spherical shape.. Δdnf-f, ΔVnf-f, and Δcnf-f, relative differences (in %) of particle diameters, volumes, and concentrations under non-fasting conditions minus those under fasting conditions. Nf and Nnf , number of participants analysed under fasting or non-fasting conditions, respectively. Differences of mean values between fasting and non-fasting subjects with an error probability ≤ 0.05 are presented in bold letters
