(A) ∆ AUC and (B) ∆ iAUC for the postprandial %FMD response to test meals representative of the FA-modified and conventional dairy (control) diets consumed prior to and following the 12-wk interventions. Values are untransformed and unadjusted means ± SEMs, n = 48. Linear mixed-model analyses were used to calculate overall treatment effect based on Δ in each 12-wk dietary intervention (calculated by subtracting week 0 from week 12 values and week 20 from week 32 values), with adjustments made for fixed effects of baseline values of the assessed outcome measure at the beginning of each dietary period (i.e., the postprandial summary measure for the preintervention visit), period, treatment, sex, age, and BMI. Participant was included as a random effect. No period effects were observed in the model for any outcome measure. P < 0.05 was deemed as significant for the primary outcome. FA, fatty acid; FMD, flow-mediated dilatation; iAUC, incremental AUC; %FMD, percentage of flow-mediated dilatation; ∆, change from preintervention.
