Ratios between average VLDL metabolism parameters after dietary MCFA supplementation versus linoleic acid supplementation; values < 1 indicate a higher value after linoleic acid supplementation.

<p>Ratios are shown to allow comparing differences after dietary supplementation between parameters with different dimensions. * Indicates a significant difference in two-way ANOVA between MCFA and linoleic acid supplementation, with p<0.05. The first three parameters have dimensions <i>volume/# particles</i>, the uptake and lipolysis measure have the dimension <i>1/time</i>, and the production measure has dimension <i># particles/(volume * time)</i>. Differences in VLDL triglyceride and cholesterol pool size can be found in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0100376#pone-0100376-t002" target="_blank">table 2</a>. The p-values of the significant measures are: uptake/production in VLDL (p = 0.030); VLDL performance (p = 0.040); VLDL lipolysis (p = 0,0213); VLDL uptake (p = 0.0135).
