Table 2.

Clinical, biochemical characteristics and dietary intake for male subjects depending on alcohol intake. Data are given as mean ± SD unless stated otherwise. * Adjusted for age, smoking habits and BMI; a Significantly different from corresponding value in no alcohol intake (p < 0.05); b Significantly different from corresponding values of all other groups (p < 0.05); c Significantly different from corresponding values of all other groups (adjusted p < 0.05).
