The means for each endpoint have a common SE based on the appropriate repeated-measures ANOVA error term; to convert cholesterol to mg/dL, multiply by 38.6; to convert triglycerides to mg/dL, multiply by 88.5. Reproduced from Bantle et al. (28) with permission.

Because 6 paired comparisons of this endpoint were made (not all data shown), only P < 0.008 (0.05/6) should be considered significant at the 0.05 level.
