Table 2

Anthropometric parameters in the obese subjects on calorie-restricted diet after 30 days of melatonin (MEL; 10 mg/day) or placebo (PL) administration.

Parameter	MEL group ()	The percentage change	value	PL group ()	The percentage change	value

BMI (kg/m^2)	35.5 ± 1.52	6%	0.42	36.3 ± 2.22	5%	0.54
Waist circumference (cm)	107.1 ± 4.60	5%	0.38	107.2 ± 4.74	5%	0.41

Each value is mean ± S.E.M. BMI: body mass index. within-group comparison: baseline versus day 30.
