Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of area under the concentration curve (AUC) in the change of triglyceride levels between groups after single ingestion. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of area under the concentration curve (AUC) in the triglyceride levels as is between groups after single ingestion. Between group comparison of triglyceride levels using measured values, or change values from before lipid load, at each blood collection time point after single ingestion. Between group comparison of remnant-like lipoprotein cholesterol levels using measured values, or change values from before lipid load, at each blood collection time point after single ingestion as well as comparison for those for the area under the concentration curve (AUC). Effects on the intestinal microflora after 7 days consecutive ingestion of test food. | — |
