  1. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR, Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance; LDL, low-density lipoprotein. Data were collected before (CID1) and after 8 weeks of weight loss (CID2) on a 800-kcal hypocaloric diet. Data are presented as mean±s.e.m. Statistical differences were determined by Student’s t-test. *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
