In vivo study: results for the different study-days.

Results are expressed as median (min-max).*Friedman test p5 healthy volunteers were evaluated on 3 different study days. Day A: blood was collected after an overnight fast and PAT was performed. EMP were detected by flow cytometry as particles Day B: a NaCl 0.9% infusion was administered in fasting conditions and the same measurements as on day A were performed. Day C: the same protocol was used as on day B, but a pure lipid solution was infused instead of NaCl.CH = cholesterol, chyl = chylomicrons, EMP = endothelial microparticles, HDL = High density lipoproteins, LDL = low density lipoproteins, PAT = peripheral arterial tonometry, RHI = reactive hyperemia index, TG = triglycerides, VLDL = very low density lipoproteins.
