Dose–response effects of almond-enriched NCEP Step 2 diets from baseline to 4 weeks: (1) full-dose almonds significantly reduced TC, LDL-C, and Apo-B (p < 0.001), (2) half-dose almonds reduced TC, LDL-C, and Apo-B (p < 0.057), (3) both almond doses significantly increased HDL-C (p < 0.047), and (4) the muffin control only significantly increased triglycerides (p = 0.031), with no significant changes in non-HDL or HDL-C blood lipids [51].
