Values are mean±SEM of untransformed data. To convert values for cholesterol and triglycerides to milligrams per deciliter, multiply by 38.67 and 88.54, respectively.

^*Unpaired Student t test.

^†Average of 5 measurements corresponding to time points 1, 4, 8, 12 and 15 hours, during the infusion protocol.

^‡Log-transformed before statistical analysis.

^||Average of 3 measurements taken at the end of the dietary period.
