Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. * p-values were calculated using an independent t-test. HOMA-IR, homeostasis model analysis-insulin resistance; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein. ** were represented as having p-values < 0.05 in the paired t-test for comparison within-group differences.
