Figure 1. Plasma apoB and TG concentration time courses.

(A–F) Presurgery (red) and postsurgery (blue) plasma VLDL₁ and VLDL₂ apoB (A and B), TG (C and D), plasma CM TG (E), and plasma TG (F) concentrations measured during the lipoprotein kinetics studies. Filled circles and error bars show data as mean ± SD. Solid curves show model simulations generated with model parameters estimated from average data (Supplemental Table 2). Dotted vertical lines mark mixed-meal ingestion time points. The box plots show the presurgery (red) and postsurgery (blue) AUCs calculated for the postprandial state (2–10 hours). Statistical significance was tested with a paired-sample t test. ****P < 0.0005.
