Mean ±standard error (SE). RC = randomized crossover; PSA = phytostanol ester; PSE = phytosterol ester; T2D = type 2 diabetes mellitus; MBO = metabolic syndrome; BMI = body mass index; S-Chol = serum cholesterol; S-TG = serum triglycerides; LDL-C =low density lipoprotein cholesterol; apo =apoprotein; TR = transport rate; FCR = fractional catabolic rate. To convert S-Chol mmol/L to mg/dL, please multiply with 38.6; to convert S-TG mmol/L to mg/dL, please multiply with 88.2; * significantly different from control period.
