Abstract:Background and aims: Extensive research showed a diurnal rhythm of endogenous cholesterol synthesis, whereas recent research reported no diurnal rhythm of intestinal cholesterol absorption in males who consumed low-fat meals.

Therefore, we examined the effect of a high-fat, high-carbohydrate, and high-protein meal on post… Show more
