a

Mean±SEM. HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein. From Cruz et al. (1994).

b

Human milk value statistically different from all formula values. [Authors presented different P values, all 0.03 or lower.]

c

All values in column statistically different from one another, except cow-milk formula compared to modified-soy formula for which P = 0.1.
