*
Not significant (p>0.05). The normality of all data was assessed with the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for normally distributed data and the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test for non-normal data.
BMC - body mass index; DBP - diastolic blood pressure; FBS - fasting blood glucose; HDL-c - high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c - low density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP - systolic blood pressure; TC - total cholesterol
