1

All values are mean ± SD (n = 11 unless otherwise specified).

2

P = 0.026 controlling for baseline weight and treatment period.

3

P < 0.01 controlling for baseline weight and treatment period.

4

P = 0.04 accounting only for the crossover design, but not significant (P = 0.46) when baseline weight and treatment period were controlled for in the generalized estimating equation model.

5

P = 0.06 by paired t test.
