  1. P values are computed by independent t-test and data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD)
  2. P: resulted from comparing the means of each variable at the end of the study, between two groups
  3. P†: resulted from comparing the mean change from baseline between groups
  4. NAFLD Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, BMI Body mass index, WC Waist circumference
