Implication
Questions primacy of postprandial lipemia in determining HDL among endurance-trained men; leaves open alternative mechanisms.
Structured PICO
Does the degree of postprandial lipemia correlate with HDL cholesterol concentrations in endurance-trained men?
P
Population
Endurance-trained men
I
Intervention
High- (140 g) and low- (50 g) fat meals
O
Outcome
HDL cholesterol concentrations and plasma triglyceride and retinyl palmitate responsessurrogate
In endurance-trained men, the degree of postprandial lipemia is not the primary determinant of HDL cholesterol concentrations, suggesting other factors are responsible for the wide range of HDL levels in this population.
