Abbreviations: au/s, absorbance unit per second; BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-reactive protein; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides.
Note: Δau indicates change in absorbance units. Normally distributed data are reported as mean [standard deviation] and nonnormally distributed data as median (25th–75th percentile).
