After food was withheld for 23 to 24 hours, plasma triglyceride concentrations were measured 1 and 0.083 hours before and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 hours after feeding of a standardized challenge meal (median amount eaten, 63 kcal\/kg [127 kcal\/kg<jats:sup>0.75<\/jats:sup>]). Correlation and agreement between concentrations at peak and other time points were assessed by use of correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman limits of agreement.

The highest concentration among samples obtained 2, 5, and 6 hours after meal consumption had closest agreement with peak concentration.

When estimating peak concentration, multiple samples should be collected 2, 5, and 6 hours after consumption of a standardized meal. Food may need to be withheld for &gt; 12 hours when assessing fasting concentrations in healthy
