Table 3. OO vs. OO + EGCG after 4 Months.

Comparison OO vs. OO + EGCG lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, white blood cell components, and endothelial function after 4 months of supplementation. Values are reported in medians and inter-quartile ranges (parenthesis). P-values denote the comparison in differences after 4 months.
