HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; CRP; C-reactive protein; HMW, high molecular weight; GGT, Gamma-glutamyl transferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase. Data presented are mean ± standard deviation. Data for triglycerides, high sensitivity CRP, serum HMW adiponectin, GGT, ALT, AST, and ALT/AST ratio were skewed, and are presented as median (interquartile range), and were log-transformed for analysis. * Student’s t-test or χ2 test.
