[RESULTS] The statistical difference obtained between the groups after three months of treatment for the various biomarkers are given as mean with 95 % CI for BMI ( -1.40.6 ( -2.5 to -0.7 ) ) , total cholesterol mg/dl ( -20.95.0 ( -30.8 to -11.0 ) ) , triglyceride mg/dl ( -12.95.7 ( -23.9 to -1.2 ) ) , HDL-c mg/dl ( 7.20.8 ( 5.6-8 .8 ) ) , IL-6 ( -0.70.1 ( -0.9 to -0.6 ) ) , hs C-reactive protein ( CRP ) mg/l ( -1.00.01 ( -1.2 to -0.8 ) ) , adiponectin g/ml ( 4.90.4 ( 4.2-5 .7 ) ) , leptin ng/ml ( -8.01.4 ( -10.7 to -5.3 ) ) , diastolic blood pressure ( DBP ) mmHg ( -10.40.8 ( -12.0 to -8.7 ) ) and systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) mmHg ( -6.70.7 ( -8.1 to -5.3 ) ) .
