HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; RDW: red blood cell width; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Δ%: percentage variation between the means of the post in relation to the pre measurement time point. Data presented as mean ± SD. Student's t-test (Wilcoxon test was applied for non-parametric data. p < .05). Cohen's d effect size for dependent data.
