Correlations between baseline parameters were tested by Pearson rank correlation coefficient for data with a normal distribution. The and values are shown. Significant correlations are labeled as follows: , , and .
BMI: body mass index, TNF: tumor necrosis factor; IL: interleukin; MCP: monocyte chemoattractant protein; hsCPP: high sensitive C-reactive protein, TPX: total peroxide concentration; TAC: total antioxidant capacity; TE: Trolox equivalent; OSI: oxidative stress index; ND: not done.
