- Anthropometric data, lipid profiles, and glucose homeostasis in blood from obese individuals before and after weight loss and from non-obese controls. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n
= 14 per group). **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001 compared with obese individuals before weight loss. BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HOMA, homeostasis model assessment; LDL, low-density lipoprotein
