Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Response to oral fat intake measured by blood triglyceride incremental Area Under the Curve (iAUC) from 0 to 360 minutes postprandially.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in cardiometabolic parameters (Platelet function and reactivity, cholesterol, lipoprotein and lipoprotein subclasses, and insulin) in response to oral fat intake measured by in whole blood and blood plasma via flow cytometry, an enzymatic method, ELISA, radioimmunoassay assessed from 0 to 360 minutes postprandially.
