Figure 1.
Lipids, glucose and CPK blood profile at basal level and after 4, 8 and 16 weeks of treatment. Box plots show median (horizontal line in the box), 25th and 75th percentiles (edges of box), maximum and minimum values (whiskers) and outliers (°, *) of: (a) total cholesterol (TC), (b) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), (c) low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), (d) triglycerides (TG), (e) glucose (GLU) and (f) creatine phosphokinase (CPK) concentrations. p values measure the significance of differences compared with basal values (least significant difference); wk, weeks.
