^aMultiple linear regression models for total energy (Model 1-- no adjustment for source of energy) and macronutrients (Model 2-- influence of one change in one macronutrient assessed when intakes of the other 2 macronutrients are held constant) after adjusting for gender, pubertal stage and WC (independent variables).

TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, HDL cholesterol; LDL-C, LDL cholesterol; IDL-C, IDL cholesterol; VLDL-C, VLDL cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; NEFA, Non-esterified fatty acids; ISI-FFA, fatty acid insulin sensitivity; sBP, systolic blood pressure; dBP, diastolic blood pressure.
