  1. 1 Values are means ± SEs.
  2. 2 PS-SO: plant sterols esterified with sunflower oil fatty acids; PS-OO: plant sterols esterified with olive oil fatty acids; PS-FO: plant sterols esterified with fish oil fatty acids
  3. 3 P values obtained by repeated-measures ANOVA with † baseline concentrations included in the model as covariates. Values of plasma triglyceride concentrations were normalized using a log transformation.
  4. a, bValues not sharing a common superscript letter are significantly different at P < 0.05.
