scAT: subcutaneous adipose tissue. VAT: visceral adipose tissue. AUC: area under the curve. Data are expressed as mean (SD), estimated mean of differences (confidence interval of 95%), and level of significance ( ) between PRE versus POST6 (within-group comparisons; mixed model for repeated measures). Equal superscripted letters represent equal means and different superscripted letters represent statistically different means ( , between- or within-group comparisons). indicates for single degree of freedom contrast analysis (between-group comparisons at POST6).
