1
All values are mean ± SEM. Groups did not differ significantly at baseline.
2
Data were analyzed by multivariate general model for repeated measures from baseline to week 8. Significance was set at P < .05. Significance was found for time interactions only; significance was not found for interactions between diets.
3
Values as measured by electronic scale.
4
HPLF, high-protein, low-fat (n = 9); HCLF, high-carbohydrate, low-fat (n = 7).
5
Values as measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).
