Lipoprotein particle distribution in subjects before the start (start) and during the 24th hour (end) of an intravenous infusion of Intralipid and 13C-cholesterol. Chylo indicates chylomicron; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein; and TG, triglyceride. There were no significant differences in any parameter by Wilcoxon matched-pairs test.
