Changes in the thickness of the intima-media of the common carotid artery (CCA-IMT, mm) and the size of the carotid plaque (CPS, mm2) after 12 months of daily NK consumption.
Item | Sample Size | Before | After | Change % |
---|---|---|---|---|
CCA-IMT (mm) | 683 | 1.33 ± 0.81 | 1.04 ± 0.56** | −21.7 |
CPS (mm2) | 683 | 24.9 ± 9.8 | 15.94 ± 7.3** | −36.0 |
Compared to the value before treatment,
p < 0.01. NK dose = 10,800 FU daily.
