2.4. Biochemical Analyses
TG
Plasma samples were collected at specific intervals after oral fat loading to measure biochemical markers. Total TG was assayed using a Hitachi 7600 automatic biochemical analyzer (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) concentration was quantified using a commercially available ELISA kit (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA). CM- and VLDL-TG were measured using an enzymatic colorimetric assay kit (TG-S, Asan Pharmacy, Hwasung, Republic of Korea) after isolation by salt density gradient ultracentrifugation (Beckman-Coulter, Fullerton, CA, USA) [
