VLDL apoB and apoA-I kinetic data in a subsample of nine (n = 9) postmenopausal women after the MILK and NCEP diets
| Variables | MILK | NCEP | % | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apo A-I | ||||
| Pool size (mg) | 5282 ± 892 | 4771 ± 885 | 10.7% | 0.25 |
| Production rate (mg/kg/d) | 19.1 ± 3.1 | 17.6 ± 6.5 | 8.5 | 0.73 |
| Fractional catabolic rate (pools/d) | 0.29 ± 0.05 | 0.29 ± 0.09 | 1.3% | 0.87 |
| VLDL apoB | ||||
| Pool size (mg) | 681 ± 287 | 605 ± 242 | 12.7% | 0.08 |
| Production rate (mg/kg/d) | 36.0 ± 14.7 | 37.6 ± 13.5 | −4.4% | 0.45 |
| Fractional catabolic rate (pools/d) | 4.74 ± 1.81 | 5.47 ± 1.84 | −13.4% | 0.04 |
Values are mean ± SD.
Apo: apolipoprotein.
Differences between diets were tested using MIXED models for repeated measurements, while including waist circumference (post diet values) as a covariate.
