Values represent mean ± standard error of mean. p values under the coffee column correspond to the effect of consuming coffee which was studied using the general linear model of the variance for repeated measures analysis. The group was taken as an inter-subject factor, p values under the group column correspond to the coffee × group (normocholesterolemic vs. hypercholesterolemic) interaction. Superscripts (a,b) correspond to significant differences according to the Bonferroni test within either the normocholesterolemic or hypercholesterolemic group. Body mass index (BMI).
