Values are presented as mean (±SD), p-values of mean from t-test for analyzing differences within each group, which are presented (* = non-parametric test in the case of a missing normal distribution). TCHO= total cholesterol, HDL = high-density cholesterol, LDL= low-density cholesterol, TAG = triacylglycerides, CRP = c-reactive protein, HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin, SBP = systolic blood pressure in the right arm, DBP = diastolic blood pressure in the right arm, V1 = Visit 1, V2 = Visit 2 and Δ = V2 − V1.
