Post-Fat Formula Cholesterol and Triglyceride Responses at Each Level of Dietary Cholesterol

Dietary Cholesterol, mg/d*	Cholesterol Level, mmol/L
	Total	LDL	HDL
108	−0.01 (0.17)	−0.26 (0.16)	−0.04 (0.06)
277	0.02 (0.19)	−0.24 (0.24)	−0.04 (0.09)
677	0.06 (0.18)	−0.24 (0.18)	0.00 (0.08)

Post–fat formula (4 and 8 hours after fat load) responses were calculated as the mean of the values obtained during each test corrected for baseline (premeal) value. All 13 subjects had a post–fat formula test during each of the three diets. Data are presented as mean (± SD)for 13 subjects on each diet. Negative values indicate a decrease in a level during the test. None of the responses on any diet was significantly different from any other response. To convert millimoles per liter cholesterol to milligrams per deciliter, multiply by 38.67.

^*Measured amounts of dietary cholesterol during each of the three diets.
