Values are expressed as mean±SD. HDL - high-density lipoprotein, LDL - low-density lipoprotein, BUN - blood urea nitrogen, hsCRP - high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,

WBC - white blood cell, RBC - red blood cell, HGB - hemoglobin, HCT - hematocrit, PLT – platelet; a, b, c are expressed for statistically significant difference from each measurement
