¹All values are means ± SEMs. *,^†Unpaired t tests were used to test for differences in participant characteristics at preintervention 1; *greater than women, P < 0.05; ^†greater than men, P < 0.05. BUN, blood urea nitrogen; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; UUN, urinary urea nitrogen.

²Measured in the seated position.
