Plasma triglycerides, nonesterified fatty acids, and d₃₁ palmitate enrichment in chylomicrons after lipid challenge. Mean kinetics of plasma triglycerides and NEFA and d₃₁ palmitate enrichment in chylomicrons observed after a standardized fat meal (40% fat intake as energy) in the 9 participants in control and protein treatments at baseline and after bed rest. AUCs are presented over 7 hours after the meal and for the first 3 hours and the last 4 hours after the meal. Data are means ± SEM. Statistical analyses were performed with a linear mixed effects model adjusted for period effect and controlled for repeated measures. Results are presented asP values for bed rest (BR), treatment (Trt), and BR*Trt effects.P < 0.05 is considered significant. NS, nonsignificant.
