Values are expressed as mean ± SD. Daily doses were 1 capsule (350 mg) from 0 to 6 months and 2 capsules (700 mg) from 6 to 12 months. A placebo group, B grape extract group (GE), C resveratrol-containing grape extract group (GE-RES). *p < 0.05; p = 0.05. Tendencies ( p > 0.05–0.1) are also indicated. Inter-group differences (p < 0.05) were found in adiponectin after 12 months (A vs. C); and in plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 after 6 (A vs. C) and 12 months (A vs. B; A vs. C)
