(a) Serum adiponectin (µg/mL) before and after 3 months of isocaloric diet (n = 27) intervention or before and after 3 months of low-calorie diet (n = 37) intervention independent of supplementation, (b) Serum sE-selectin (pg/mL) before and after 3 months of isocaloric diet (n = 27) intervention or before and after 3 months of low-calorie diet (n = 37) intervention independent of supplementation. Data are shown as means ± SD. Statistics: analyses were performed with repeated measures by ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test; significance: * p < 0.05 after versus before low-calorie diet, *** p < 0.001 after versus before low-calorie diet.
