Data of triglyceride, fasting glucose, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and A-FABP levels showed skewed distribution, and therefore were log-transformed before analysis.
A-FABP, adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; BUN, blood urea nitrogen.
*p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
