Text: Evaluating lipid profile changes, a significant (p < 0. 0001) reduction was noted in total cholesterol (TC : from 220 + / - 39 to 216 + / - 36 mg/dL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL : from 146 + / - 35 to 141 + / - 33 mg/dL), ratio of TC to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) (from 4. 80 + / - 1. 35 to 4. 64 + / - 1. 25), apolipoprotein (Apo) B (from 129 + / - 32 to 124 + / - 28 mg/dL), and triglyceride levels (from 130 + / - 63 to 128 + / - 61 mg/dL, p = 0. 015), while ApoA1 and lipoprotein (a) levels were not significantly affected (149 + / - 23 vs. 149 + / - 22 and 24. 9 + / - 26. 3 vs. 24. 7 + / - 26. 4 mg / dL, respectively, p = NS).
