Values are expressed as the mean ±SD or as the number of subjects. BMI: body mass index; DM: diabetes mellitus; TC: total cholesterol; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; TG: triglyceride; ACE-I/ARB: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker. A value of P<0.05 was considered significant difference.
