The values represent the mean ± SEM. Superscripted letters in the same row indicate statistically significant differences compared with time 0. Superscripted numbers in the same column indicate statistically significant differences compared with the respective control group. a,1 (p < 0.0). VLDL was calculated using the following VLDL = 0.2 x TG.
