Figure 3.

Effect of 8 weeks caloric restriction on serum myeloperoxidase activity (A–C) and neutrophile count (D–F). Patients after caloric restriction were divided according to the median value regarding the fat mass loss, the bodyweight loss, and the glucose concentration after 2 h of OGTT at baseline. The data were analyzed using the paired/unpaired t-tests depending on Gaussian/non-Gaussian distribution. Significance difference Before vs. After: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. Abbreviation: MPO—myeloperoxidase, PMN—polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
