- The mean weights with standard error of mean at the end of nine months dietary intervention are shown in low-fat (LF), saturated fat (SFA) or diets supplemented with nutraceutical aged garlic extract-aged (+GEA), alpha-lipoic acid (+ALA), niacin (+Niacin), or nicotinamide (+NA) groups. The differences of means from the beginning to the end of dietary intervention in each group are also shown. *Indicates the statistical significance at P < 0.05 compared to SFA group by using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test.
