Samples (in %): 1=cow's milk 100, 2=cow's milk 75+soy beverage 25, 3=cow's milk 50+soy beverage 50, 4=cow's milk 25+soy beverage 75, 5=soy beverage 100. N.d.=not detected; SFA=saturated fatty acid, MUFA=monounsaturated fatty acid, PUFA=polyunsaturated fatty acid, AI=index of atherogenicity, TI=thrombogenicity index, DFA=desirable fatty acid ratio. Values with different letters in superscript in the same row are significantly different. ANOVA (p<0.05) with Duncan's post-hoc test
