Values are means ± SD. Non-normally distributed variables were log transformed before analysis.Apo, apolipoprotein; Lp(a), lipoprotein(a); OxPL/apoB, oxidized phospholipids per apolipoprotein B-100; OxPL-apo(a), oxidized phospholipids on Lp(a); RLU, relative light unit. (Δ; 20% low-fat diet minus 40% high-fat diet).
