Abbreviations: HDL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HgbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; US-CRP, ultra sensitive c-reactive protein. N/A, no required measurement at six weeks.

^a N = 271, 266 and 185 for insulin and N = 285, 273 and 201 for US-CRP at weeks 1, 6, and 30, respectively, since neither parameter measured before June 2009;

^{b, c, d, e, f} indicate 3, 28, 7, 2, 1 and 15 missing data points, respectively.
