Values are presented as mean (±SD), p-values of mean from t-test for analyzing differences within each group are presented. FMD was calculated using ANOVA for repeated measurements adjusted for kilocalories intake changes per kg BW. Difference significant at p < 0.05. FMD = flow mediated dilation V1 = Visit 1, V2 = Visit 2 and Δ = V2 − V1.
