MAC, macadamia nut diet; sem, standard error of the mean; se, standard error; CI, confidence interval; TC, total cholesterol; sdLDL, small dense low-density lipoprotein; oxLDL, oxidised low-density lipoprotein.

^aMixed model regression controlled for sequence and period.

^bLog-transformed with estimated marginal means back-transformed; Mac–Control refers to the ratio of treatment means after back transformation; se remains on a log scale.
