Data are presented as the means ± standard error (SE), geometric mean (95% CI), or % (SE).
Insulin, HOMA-IR, TG, TG/HDL, ALT, AST, and WBC count were tested after logarithmic transformation.
BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance; TG, triglyceride; HDL, high density lipoprotein; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; WBC, white blood cell.
