Change in postprandial (6-h) response from baseline to 14 mo after liposuction surgery (LIPO; n = 16) vs. nonsurgical control (CON; n = 12) for leg fat mass (A), total plasma triglyceride (TG; B), TG (C and D), and ¹⁴C (E and F) in the large (chylomicron; C and E) and medium (VLDL; D and F) TG-rich lipoprotein (TRL) subfractions. Solid lines are for CON (●, baseline; ■, 14 mo); dashed lines are for LIPO (▲, baseline; ⧫, 14 mo). P value for significant area under the curve (AUC) time-by-group interaction. Inset bar graphs (B–D) are mean (± SE) 14-mo change in AUC.
