1: Indices of lifestyle-related diseases; 2: serum lipids; 3: insulin sensitivity; 4: inflammatory cytokines and others; 5: electrolyte concentrations in serum and urine.

Data are means±s.d. aP-values derived from repeated-measures ANOVA or Friedman's test. bP-values derived from post hoc analysis with Bonferroni or Friedman's test for multiple comparisons.

** indicates bP<0.01 vs. baseline; * indicates bP<0.05 vs. baseline. A value of P<0.05 was considered significant. We excluded three outliers of triglyceride, and analyzed 55 cases.
