  1. Note: For continuous variables, all values were expressed as Mean±SD. Student t tests were performed to compare means between the groups. For categorical variables, all values were expressed as n(%) and comparisons were performed with Chi-square tests. BMI, body mass index; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein. aP<0.05 compared with Control.
