Data were expressed as mean +/- standard error of mean, BMI: Body mass index, WC: Waist Circumferences, SBP: Systolic blood pressure, DPB: Diastolic blood pressure, FBS: Fasting blood glucose, FB: Fasting blood glucose, TC: Total cholesterol, HDL: High-density lipoprotein, LDL: low-density lipoprotein, TG: triglycerides, WBC: White Blood Cells, IR: Insulin resistance. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
