Baseline characteristics of the study participants.

Variables	Participants (N = 10)
Age, y	65 ± 8
Female, n (%)	6 (60%)
Weight, kg	85 ± 12
Body Mass Index, kg/m2	29.8 ± 3.2
Fasting glucose, mmol/L	5.6 ± 0.6
Total cholesterol, mmol/L	5.6 ± 0.9
VLDL-C, mmol/L	0.8 ± 0.3
LDL-C, mmol/L	3.5 ± 0.7
HDL-C, mmol/L	1.3 ± 0.3
Triacylglycerol, mmol/L	1.7 ± 0.6

All values are presented as mean ± SD. To convert to mmol/L, for total cholesterol, VLDL-C, LDL-C and HDL-C multiply by 38.67 and, for triacylglycerol, multiply by 88.54. HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; VLDL-C, very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
