  1. Data are quoted for all 64 subjects. * As all components except apolipoprotein A1 are computed using the logarithmic transformation in FibroTest and ActiTest formulas, the coefficient of variation was also assessed in log for these five components. ** Represents the intra-individual variability of the linear regression between fasting and postprandial values.
