Values are means ± SEMs (ranges), n = 30. Values were calculated and compared with the use of an independent 2-sample t test (PROC TTEST; SAS version 9.3). There were no significant differences between male and female participants for any variables. DBP, diastolic blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride.
