  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD or mean (95% CI). P-values based on the paired t-test for variables of normal distribution and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for variables of skewed distribution, for differences between baseline and after the 24-week treatment; one-way ANOVA for variables of normal distribution and the Kruskal–Wallis test for variables of skewed distribution for differences among three groups. Δ denotes the changes after treatment compared with baseline. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 for changes before and after treatment in treatment columns, and for changes among three groups in Δ columns
