Notes: Values represent the mean ± SD. Figures in parentheses represent the changes from W0 for each group. There were significant differences between the groups according to the Student’s t-test or Welch’s t-test (*P<0.05; **P<0.01). In addition, there were significant differences from the W0 for each group according to the paired t-test (#P<0.05; ##P<0.01).

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HR, heart rate; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SD, standard deviation; W0, start of the intake; W4, 4th week; W8, 8th week; W12, 12th week.
