  1. P values are computed by independent t-test and data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD)
  2. P: resulted from comparisons within groups by paired t-test
  3. P†: resulted from comparisons between two groups by independent t-test
  4. P††: resulted from comparing the mean change from baseline between groups using univariate ANCOVA after adjusting for energy intake and weight change
  5. NAFLD Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, AIP Atherogenic index of plasma, AC Atherogenic coefficient
