^aData are expressed as post-treatment value less the pretreatment value and are given as mean ± standard deviation (95% confidence interval)
^b Obtained by one-way analysis of variance for unadjusted values and by analysis of covariance for adjusted values (for each outcome, the corresponding baseline value and baseline dietary intake were included as covariates)
^c,d Different letters demonstrate statistical difference (P < 0.05)
All P values for pairwise between-group differences were obtained by Bonferroni post-hoc test; only statistically significant results are shown
