- The table shows the effects of various feeding regimens on plasma lipids. Plasma total cholesterol, triglycerides and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) were measured at the end of the feeding regimen. Data represented as mean ± standard error of mean. Means were compared with non-parametric independent t test, where P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
- a: statistically significant in comparison to LF.
- b: statistically significant in comparison to SFA.
- Abbreviations: LF, low-fat; SFA, saturated fatty acids; At, atorvastatin; Pr, pravastatin; Ib, ibuprofen; wk, weeks.
