Oxidative stress, inflammation, and liver and kidney function markers between super healthy people and MetS risk carriers.

	Super healthy ()	MetS risk ()
Oxidized LDL (U/L)	54.9 ± 2.08	62.2 ± 3.17
hs-CRP (mg/dL)	0.51 ± 0.17	0.84 ± 0.25
TNF-α (pg/mL)	1.07 ± 0.07	1.69 ± 0.30
White blood cell (×10^9/L)	4.92 ± 0.15	5.65 ± 0.21
AST (U/L)	25.0 ± 0.88	27.2 ± 1.31
ALT (U/L)	20.0 ± 1.37	27.3 ± 2.14
Creatinine (mg/dL)	0.77 ± 0.01	0.87 ± 0.07
BUN (mg/dL)	13.2 ± 0.38	14.2 ± 0.73

Data are Tested after log-transformed, ; tested by general linear model method adjusted for age, sex, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption. hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
