  1. *Independent samples of T-tests or Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare the baseline and average of M-M and L-M.
  2. #Paired two-sided T-tests or Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Tests were used to compare M-M and L-M. Two-way ANOVA tests (Fixed factors were diets and sequence) were also performed. Bold values indicate statistically significant. Sample size n= baseline:26, M-M:22 and L-M:22 participants. Abbreviations: M-M: moderate FODMAPs with metformin treatment, L-M: low FODMAPs with metformin treatment. Abbreviations: hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, LBP: lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, HDL: high-density lipoprotein, LDL: low-density lipoprotein, non-HDL: non-high-density lipoprotein.
