Parameters	Control group	Obese before treatment	Obese after treatment	𝑃	𝑃^′′
IMT (mm)	0.41±0.03	0.50±0.08	0.46±0.06	<0.01	𝑃<0.03
FMD %	18.64 ± 0.81	10.89±1.84	11.17±1.98	<0.0001	Ns

IMT: carotid artery intima-media thickness; FMD: flow-mediated dilation; 𝑃 value represents the 𝑡-test result of comparison of obese versus control groups, and 𝑃^′′ value represents the 𝑡-test result of comparison variables in the obese group before treatment and after treatment.
