SBP: systolic pressure, DBP: diastolic pressure, HbA1c: glycosylated hemoglobin, ALT: glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, AST: glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, TC: total cholesterol, TG: triglycerides, HDL: high density lipoprotein, LDL: low density lipoprotein, BUN: blood urea nitrogen, Cr: creatinine, and SUA: serum uric acid. The -test with different samples was adopted for comparison between groups. was considered as statistically significant difference.
