Total Cholesterol (mg/dl) |
192.5±72.77 | 124.5±14.32 | P = 0.0471 | |
|
HDL-Cholesterol (mg/dl) |
46.26±18.7 | 44.56±3.74 | P = 0.8407 | |
|
Triglycerides (mg/dl) |
88.68±35.01 | 79.7±13.62 | P = 0.5384 | |
|
Glycaemia (mg/dl) |
84.59±10.05 | 90.86±7.07 | P = 0.2294 | |
|
Transaminases (U/L) |
AST | 26.26±13.52 | 24.66±3.13 | P = 0.7989 |
| ALT | 28.13±23.05 | 26.64±9.58 | P = 0.8908 | |
Normal range of blood parameters: Total Choesterol <170mg/dL, HDL-cholesterol >35 mg/mL, Triglycerides 30-125mg/dL, Glycaemia 70-127mg/mL, Transaminases AST 10-40U/L, ALT 5–30 U/L. NW = normal weight group.
