WB-TGs, WB-TC, and WB-HDL-C: concentrations of TGs, TC, and HDL-C in whole blood samples, respectively.
Compared to the baseline on WB-TGs_T0,
WB-TC_T0,
WB-HDL-C_T0, respectively (t-test).
TGs, triglycerides; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; WB, whole blood; T₀, baseline; T_4h, 4 hours; T_12h, 12 hours.
