A mildly significant decrease in triglyceride level was only observed in the standard-dose group ( P = 0.03).
A mildly significant decrease in triglyceride level was only observed in the standard-dose group ( P = 0.03).
From baseline to week 12, we found an increasing trend in the total iron binding capacity levels in both groups and a comparable changing trend in all iron parameters after adjusting for total iron element supplementation between groups, suggesting mildly improvement in iron metabolism in both groups.
Moreover, significant decreasing trends in total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein in both groups and a decreasing trend in triglyceride levels in the standard-dose group were found over the 12-week period.
