Univariate analysis showed significant between-group differences in age, body mass index z-score (BMIZ), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting insulin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), dyslipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia (all\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.05).
