* p-value was reported based on Paired sample t test. ** p-value was reported based on ANCOVA after adjustment of baseline values. MMD: Marginal Mean Difference; PC: Percent Change; VLDL: Very Low Density Lipoprotein; LDL: Low Density Lipoprotein; TG: Triglyceride; HDL: High Density Lipoprotein; TC: Total Cholesterol.
