The aim of this study was to determine the effects of micronized fenofibrate (160 mg/daily) on:
1. Fasting and postprandial lipids and lipoproteins after a standarized test meal.
2. Fasting and postprandial oxidized fatty acids and oxidized low density lipoprotein after a standarized test meal.
3. Fasting and postprandial inflammatory mediators after a standarized test meal.
4. Fasting and postprandial lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cytokine production after a standarized test meal.
5. Fasting and postprandial markers of hemostasis, fibrinolysis and blood viscosity after a standarized test meal.
