Cross-sectional comparisons of plasma LDL subfractions measured by NMR in young (n = 30) and older (n = 54) adults (left column), and the effects of 6 mo of placebo (n = 22, middle column) and n–3-PUFA supplementation (n = 22, right column) on triglycerides (A), esterified cholesterol (B), free cholesterol (C), phospholipids (D), apoB (E), and lipoprotein particle number (F). LDL particles are numbered 1–6 in order of increasing density and decreasing size. A total of 5 participants dropped out after randomization (2 placebo, 3 n–3 PUFA). Data are shown as mean ± SD. *Significant (P value < 0.05) differences between young and older adults observed at baseline. ^ΩSignificant differences between treatment groups found by ANCOVA.
