Data are shown as mean ± SD for normally distributed variables or as median (25th and 75th percentiles), and is considered statistically significant. BW, body weight; BMI, body mass index; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; FINS, fasting insulin; FC-p, fasting C-peptide; HOMA-IS: homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity; TBIL, total bilirubin; DBIL, direct bilirubin; IBIL, indirect bilirubin; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase.
