  1. Data are calculated as the degrees of change from the values at 0 w (∆), and expressed as means (SEM). A, Active group (n = 91); P, Placebo group (n = 87). # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01 vs. Placebo group. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 vs. 0 w. There was a significant effect of group ( P < 0.05), and of time (§ P < 0.01) during the test-beverage ingestion period (by two-way ANOVA)
