Notes: All values are expressed as mean ± standard error for GCQID group (n=48) and placebo group (n=49).

a

Of the 100 subjects eligible for safety assessment, three (two in the GCQID group and one in the placebo group) dropped out of the study and did not undergo laboratory examinations at week 16.

b

Values below the detectable limit for CRP and insulin are calculated as 0.05 mg/dL and 2.0 μU/mL, respectively.
