  1. Values are mean ± standard error
  2. TSP: Textured soy protein; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein; VLDL-C: very low density lipoprotein; Apo AI: apolipoprotein AI; Apo B100: apolipoprotein B100; FBG: fasting blood glucose; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model of assessment insulin resistance; TG/HDL-C: triglyceride/high density lipoprotein; MDA: malondialdehyde; TAC: total antioxidant capacity; CRP: C-reactive protein
  3. aThere was a significant difference in the treatment groups compared with control group (post hoc ANOVA)
  4. bThere was a significant difference in the soy-nut group compared with TSP and control groups (post hoc ANOVA)
  5. cFor significant changes after-before (paired t-test)
