Data are presented as mean ± SD
Comparisons were made with ANOVA
P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant
BMI, body mass index; FBS, fasting blood sugar; HDL, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; VLDL, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides
