Table 1. Lipid composition of FBS and FBSLess (mM) sera.

Lipids	FBS	FBSLess
Triglycerides, mM	1.26±0.02*	0.86±0.03
Total cholesterol, mM	1.11±0.03*	0.72±0.01
Free fatty acids, mM	0.47±0.02*	0.12±0.01
Phospholipids, mM	0.72±0.04*	0.23±0.01
Total lipids, g/L	1.8±0.03*	1.02±0.06

Measurements were made in triplicate. Data represent mean ± SEM.

*indicates significant differences between the sera for a given lipid parameter (Mann-Whitney U test, p<0.05).
