Student’s paired t-test used for intragroup comparison before applying this test the Smirnov-Kolmogorov test conducted to confirm the normality of each parameter. *P<0.01 significant. SD=Standard deviation, TG=Triglyceride, VLDL=Very low-density lipoprotein, LDL=Low-density lipoprotein, HDL=High-density lipoprotein, HbA1c=Glycated hemoglobin
