SY: Soyangin; TE: Taeeumin; SE: Soeumin; BMI: body mass index; BFP: body-fat percentage; WHR: waist-to-hip ratio; VFA: visceral fat area; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; SGOT: serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase; SGPT: serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase; -GPT: gamma-glutamyl transferase; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; WBC: white blood cell; RBC: red blood cell; PLT: platelet cell. Differences among groups were analyzed using Duncan’s multiple range test (p < 0.05) and are indicated by different lowercase letters (a, b, and ab). Letter “a” is significant to “b,” but “ab” is not significant. ,, and denote one-way ANOVA (parametric test).
