| Baseline | 15.8 ± 5.9a | 8.6 ± 6.5bc | 1.17 ± 0.26 | 0.23 ± 0.06 |
| 12 Weeks | 16.4 ± 5.2a | 12.2 ± 11.5c | 1.14 ± 0.30 | 0.21 ± 0.07 |

Values are means ± standard deviation. EGG n = 15, SUB n = 13. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Values in the same column with different superscript indicate significantly different at P < 0.05.
