Text: Compared with P+S, EZE+S induced, (a) beside a greater decrease in LDL cholesterol, (b) a significant decrease in chylomicron lipid content both at fasting and postprandially (4. 4 2. 7 vs. 8. 3 8. 7 mg/dl 6 h total AUC for cholesterol, p < 0. 05 ; 18 12 vs. 29 24 mg/dl triglyceride concentrations at 6h, p < 0. 05), (c) a significant decrease in chylomicron postprandial apoB-48 (0. 03 0. 03 vs. 0. 09 0. 08 mg/l at 4 h, p < 0. 05), and (d) significant fasting and postprandial decreases in the cholesterol content of VLDL, IDL, and LDL, as shown by the significant reduction of the cholesterol/triglyceride ratio in these lipoproteins.
