Data are mean (lower confidence limit, upper confidence limit). Physical and biochemical measures were obtained at week 0, representing baseline, and weeks 8, 10, and 12 − baseline, representing change from baseline. BP, blood pressure; MI, multiple imputation; RHI, reactive hyperemia index.

*Significant difference from baseline (P < 0.05).

aMean, confidence limits, and P values determined using repeated-measures least squares means in PROC MIXED of SAS 9.2 with all available data.

bControl: n = 71 at baseline and 64, 60, and 59 at weeks 8, 10, and 12, respectively. Test: n = 70 at baseline and 54 at weeks 8, 10, and 12.
