1
Values are presented as mean (SEM) or (SED) for differences between week 16 and week 4.
2
Differences at baseline between groups were assessed by using two-factor ANOVA on log-transformed values.
3
Differences in concentration change from baseline between the dietary intervention groups were assessed by using two-factor ANOVA on log-transformed values.
4
Represents differences calculated as mean concentration at week 16 – mean concentration at week 4.
