Markers are significantly lower (↓), higher (↑) or not significantly different (=) after intake of fats high in C16:0 sn-2 contents compared with fats low in C16:0 sn-2 contents. 1=% of total fatty acids at sn-2. 2= 12.5% Lard and 11.0% IE lard was solid at 35 °C, and 8.3% and 6.5% at 40 °C respectively. No values reported for 37 °C [27]. 3=iAUC of VLDL-TAG was smaller after lard [27]. 4=TAG iAUC of 0 to 4 h after IE palm olein was lower than after palm olein (p=0.024). Chylomicron TAG was lower at 4 h after IE palm olein compared to palm olein (p=0.038) [34]. 5= 24% PSt/PK and 21% IE PSt/PK was solid at 35 °C, and 17 and 11% at 40 °C respectively. No values for 37 °C [28]. Abbreviations: apo, apolipoprotein; CM-C, chylomicron cholesterol; en%, % of total energy; FVIIa, activated factor VII; GIP, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; IE, interesterified; IL, interleukin; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NEFA, non-esterified fatty acids; NR, not reported; PSt/PK, palm stearin blended with palm kernel; PYY, peptide YY; TAG, triacylglycerol; TC, total cholesterol; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; VLDL, very low-density lipoprotein; WBC, white blood cells; wt, weight; y, year.
