  1. 1Data are presented as mean ± SEM. CRP: C-reactive protein, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, HF: high fat, LF: low fat, SBP: systolic blood pressure. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA.
  2. 2 P < 0.05 for main effect of time.
  3. 3 P < 0.05 for diet × time interaction such that LF group had greater reductions in systolic blood pressure than the HF group.
