 Interindividual variability in LeA and the BGH after milk intake in healthy adults. Serum LeA (A), serum BGH (B), and urine BGH (C) measured 6 h postprandially after milk intake in ten healthy subjects. Subjects were separated into three groups according to their postprandial response: LeA increase (n = 4), BGH increase (n = 4), and no increase (n  = 2). Comparison of postprandial responses of the three subject groups used iAUCs (D–F), IQRs plotted with medians. Means with different superscript letters (a, b, c) denote significant differences using a Kruskal-Wallis test completed by a Conover-Iman pairwise comparison test ( P < 0.05). A.U., arbitrary units; BGH, blood group H disaccharide; iAUC, incremental AUC; LeA, Lewis A trisaccharide.
