  1. FBS fasting blood sugar, TG triglyceride, ALT alanine aminotransferase, AST aspartate aminotransferase, ALP alkaline phosphatase
  2. aData are expressed as post treatment value less the pretreatment value and are given as mean ± standard deviation (95% confidence interval). Values for continuous variables, as mean ± standard deviation if normal distribution or we get a Ln for skewed distribution b
  3. c,d Different letters demonstrate statistical difference (P < 0.05)
  4. All P values for pairwise between-group differences were obtained by post hoc test; only statistically significant results are shown.
