Figure 2

Percentage contribution (%) of proteins and the different lipids to the total mass of plasma VLDL, IDL, LDL and HDL fractions. Results are means ± SD (n = 8). ED: rats fed the CFE-diet since the beginning of the study; D: rats fed the Chol-diet; DE: rats fed the CFE-diet when the diabetic state was confirmed. For more abbreviations see footnotes of Table 1. (a) VLDL fraction composition: cholesterol (p < 0.001), triglycerides (p < 0.001), phospholipids (p = 0.010) and proteins (p > 0.05); (b) IDL fraction composition: cholesterol (p < 0.001), triglycerides (p = 0.009), phospholipids (p = 0.031) and proteins (p > 0.05); (c) LDL fraction composition: cholesterol (p = 0.009), triglycerides (p < 0.001), phospholipids (p = 0.013) and proteins (p < 0.08). (d) HDL fraction composition: cholesterol (p > 0.05), triglycerides (p < 0.001), phospholipids (p < 0.001) and proteins (p > 0.05). Labeled means for a variable without a common letter differ (p < 0.05; a < b < c; ab = a or b; ANOVA followed by the post hoc Bonferroni or T2 Tamhane test).
