1Data are means ± SEMs, n = 30. CN, control nonobese; CO, control obese; LBP, LPS-binding protein; sCD14, soluble CD14; YN, yogurt nonobese; YO, yogurt obese; Δ, difference.

2The effects of obesity status (obese compared with nonobese), dietary treatment (low-fat yogurt compared with control food), and the obesity × treatment interaction on changes in total AUC were determined by 2-factor ANOVA (PROC GLM).
