Mean values at baseline were based on the average of multiple measurements during the pretreatment period (week −4 to week 0).
p values represent the comparison of the percent changes between the combination group and the specified group by two-sample t-test (two-sided).
p < 0.05 for the within-group comparison by one sample t-test.
TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
