Abbreviations: ALT, alanine transaminase; cEMPs, circulating endothelial‐derived microparticles; cEPCs, circulating endothelial progenitor cells; CK, creatine kinase; hsCRP, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein; oxLDL, oxidized low‐density protein; TC, total cholesterol. P < 0.05 indicates statistical significance.
