The results are presented as mean values along with standard deviations. p* (intra-group changes) CI – Castelli Risk Index I; CII – Castelli Risk Index II; AC – atherogenic coefficient – t-test; AIP – Atherogenic Index of Plasma – Mann-Whitney U test, p (control group vs. study group) CI, CII t-test, AIP Wilcoxon signed-rank test; statistically significant results are in bold (p < 0.05).
