3.6. Influence on Biochemical Parameters and Anthropometric Measurements per Diet Group
fasting blood glucose, diabetes’
Regarding the analyzed cardiovascular risk factors (total, LDL, MDA-LDL, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, high-sensitivity CRP, apolipoprotein A1 and B, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine), no significant differences were found between the different groups, both at baseline and at the end of the study (For diabetes’ risk markers (fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c), significant changes only were observed within groups. Here, the mean fasting glucose decreased from 5.89 mmol/L to 5.63 mmol/L (The vitamin E status was not different between and within groups at any point and the change from baseline did also not show any significant differences. Within groups, mean vitamin E status decreased in the LLA and MF groups (No significant differences were found at baseline or at the end of the study for all anthropometric measures. However, significant changes in BMI were found in the HLA, LLA, and MF groups. The BMI decreased the most in the LLA group by an average of −0.78 kg/mFor systolic and diastolic blood pressure, significant changes only were observed within groups. Here, median systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased each by −1 mmHG in the HLA group (
