  1. Differences analyzed by General Linear Model-repeated measures, followed by Tukey's test. HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin; hs-CRP = highly-sensitive C-reactive protein; RSV = rosuvastatin 40 mg; Fib = fiber; SIM = simvastatin 40 mg; EZE = ezetimibe 10 mg. 1Differences between baseline and 12 week; 2Differences between groups.
