Mean±SD (n=55 or 56) AST and ALT: aspartate- and alanine-aminotransferase, FFA: free fatty acid, hsCRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, HDL and LDL; high- and low-density lipoprotein.
*P<0.05 or less by Bonferroni's multiple comparison procedure.
†Low versus high.
‡Median versus high.
ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BP, blood pressure; bpm, beats per minute; FFA, free fatty acid; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C reactive protein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
