TG (mmol/l)
before	1.25 ±0.46	1.34 ±0.47	0.311

The results are presented as mean values along with standard deviations. TG – total cholesterol; HDL – high-density lipoprotein; LDL – low-density lipoprotein; TG – triglycerides. p (control group vs. study group) t-test for independent means; p* (intra-group changes) one-way ANOVA for repeated measurements. Statistically significant results are in bold (p < 0.05).
