Values are presented as mean ± SEM and variables were normally distributed. Post (%) represents mean percentage change from baseline within group. AUC and iAUC represent nonfasting response following a high-fat meal test.

Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; iAUC, incremental area under the curve; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; non-HDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides.
