All data are expressed as means ± SE (n = 20 subjects). BMI: body mass index; Total-C: total cholesterol; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TBARS: thiobarbituric acid reactive substance; NO: nitric oxide; SOD: superoxide dismutase. P value was evaluated according to “Pre” versus “Post” intervention.
