  1. TG = Triglycerides, C = Cholesterol, PL = Phospholipids, D = Duodenum, J = Jejunum, I = Ileum. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM in mg.g−1 of fraction. N = 7 and n = 6 for control and VAS groups respectively. Asterisks indicate significant differences in lipid levels from the control group of same sex, status and intestinal fraction: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001.
