Values are means ± SE. Men, n = 9; women, n = 9. LDL low-density lipoprotein, HDL high-density lipoprotein. Plasma was collected immediately preceding exercise and at the corresponding time of day in the control trial. Values are averaged between three occasions. Statistical analysis by unpaired t test
