Markers are significantly lower (↓), higher (↑) or not significantly different (=) after intake of fats high in C18:0 compared with fats high in C16:0. 1=per 75 kg body weight. Range of fat intake was 65-85 grams [41]. 2=50.6 en% was reported. However, our calculations indicate 40.4 en% [41].Abbreviations: apo, apolipoprotein; CETP, cholesteryl ester transfer protein; en%, % of total energy; FVIIa, activated factor VII; FVIIc, Factor VII coagulant activity; GIP, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOSO, high oleic sunflower oil; IE, interesterified; IL, interleukin; Lp[a], lipoprotein [a]; LPL, lipoprotein lipase; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NEFA, non-esterified fatty acids; NR, not reported; PAI, plasminogen activator inhibitor; PYY, peptide YY; TAG, triacylglycerol; TC, total cholesterol; TNF, tumour necrosis factor; tPA, tissue plasminogen activator; VLDL-C, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; wt, weight; y, year.
