“…After an overnight fast, the subjects received a bolus injection of 60 mol/kg body weight [5,5, H] l-leucine (Cambridge Isotopes, Andover, MA) to determine the kinetics of apoB-100. Blood samples were collected into tubes containing EDTA (0.15%) at baseline (0 h, 8 AM) and at 30 min, 1,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,21,27,33,45,57, and 69 h after the isotope was injected. During the first 48 h of the metabolic study, the subjects were given equal portions of a fat-free energy drink (240 g of Genisoy powder and 850 g strawberry sorbet, 58 g sugar per 1,000 ml) at 10 AM, 1 PM, 4 PM, 7 PM, and 10 PM, to minimize the intermittent influx of intestinal chylomicrons, which might interfere with the kinetics of TRL apoB (20,21).…”
