- Values are means ± SD, n = 11. 1 indicate the significance of the differences for overall changes during the experimental period (days 0–15) analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurements (MANOVA). 2 indicate the significance of the differences for overall changes during the follow-up period (days 15–22) analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurements (MANOVA). a p < 0.05 significantly different from the values of 0 day analyzed with paired t-test with Bonferroni correction.
- Footnotes. During the experimental period the percentage changes (versus 0 day) in serum total cholesterol were -2.6 ± 8.1%, -8.2 ± 8.7% and -4.3 ± 8.1% at days 4, 8 and 15, respectively, and during the follow up period the changes were -2.7 ± 7.2% and -0.6 ± 8.8% at days 17/18 and 22, respectively. Respective changes in serum LDL cholesterol were -3.5 ± 8.9%, -9.9 ± 10.4%, -10.2 ± 10.5%, -6.5 ± 8.7% and -5.3 ± 10.0%.
