Results are presented as adjusted mean (SE) except

*

which are adjusted geometric mean (SE).

In addition adjusted for baseline level. n indicates number of participants for whom baseline and 1 year data were available.

Similar differences in baseline total cholesterol and triglycerides were not seen in placebo treated participants and are probably due to chance.
