Fig. 3. Effects of dietary fat level and exercise on plasma lipid peroxides in endurance runners. Values are mean ± SEM. + = Lipid peroxides level significantly higher after endurance run compared to before. # = Significantly lower compared to 15%F and 30%F before endurance. = Significantly lower compared to 15%F and 30%F after endurance.
