Pearson’s correlation coefficients (r) describing the relationship between response variables (% change) were calculated using PROC CORR. Average 24-h TG exposure was determined by averaging values for the 33 postprandial time periods. Peak TG exposure was defined as the highest TG measurement over the 33 postprandial time periods, and postprandial TG peak was calculated by averaging TG measurements taken at 22:00, 23:00, and 23:30 h. *P < 0.05 ** P < 0.01.
