Comparison of albumin/creatinine (ACR) ($\overline{\mathrm{x}}$ ± s, mg/g) in the two groups.

Study Period	Peanut (n = 11)	Almond (n = 14)	F	p
Baseline	25.58 ± 26.40	18.53 ± 16.19	0.679	NS
Third month	31.47 ± 48.70 (adjusted: 25.55 ± 5.26)	17.88 ± 21.87 (adjusted: 22.54 ± 4.65)	0.182	NS
F	0.124	0.008	-	-
p	NS	NS	-	-

p-value for comparisons by one-way analysis of variance or covariance analysis for between-group difference at the third month, with adjusted data presented as mean ± standard error. ACR—ratio of urinary albumin/creatinine; NS: differences were not significant.
