Values represent mean ± SD (n) or % (participants affected/total participants). hs-CRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; FBG, fasting blood glucose.

b

P value within arms; from baseline to pre-surgery.

c

P value between arms; change from baseline to pre-surgery.

d

P value < 0.05 from baseline value; all other net changes were not significant.
