Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes of serum high C-reactive12 weeks

Changes of serum high C-reactive in mg/L was assessed before and after the intervention.

Changes of adiponectin12 weeks

Changes of adiponectin in ng/mL was assessed before and after the intervention.

Changes of urinary 8-epi-PGF2α12 weeks

Changes of urinary 8-epi-PGF2α in pg/mg creatinine was assessed before and after the intervention.

Changes of Insulin Resistance (IR)12 weeks

Changes of fasting serum glucose in mmol/L was assessed before and after the intervention.

Changes of fasting insulin in μIU/mL was assessed before and after the intervention.

Fasting insulin and fasting glucose were combined to report IR using the following equation: homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)-IR=\[fasting insulin (μIU/mL)×fasting glucose (mmol/L)\] /22.5.

Changes of BMI12 weeks

Changes of weight in kilograms was assessed before and after the intervention.

Changes of height in meters was assessed before and after the intervention.

Weight and height were combined to report BMI in kg/m\^2.

Changes of lipid profiles12 weeks

Triglyceride in mg/dL was assessed before and after the intervention.

Total-cholesterol in mg/dL was assessed before and after the intervention.

HDL-cholesterol in mg/dL was assessed before and after the intervention.

LDL-cholesterol was indirectly estimated using the friedewald formula: LDL-cholesterol= total-cholesterol-\[HDL-cholesterol+(triglycerides/5)\].
