1Values are least-squares means ± SEM, n = 21. Data presented from the final model, in which weight was significant only for tocopherols and IGF-1 and was omitted for all other variables.

2Change scores calculated for each diet as Δ = mean concentration following diet – mean concentration at baseline.

3Triglyceride and percent free PSA (n = 20) change score data were log-transformed, and change scores are presented as geometric means.

4 n = 20. Tocopherol change score adjusted for change in weight between the two diets.
