^aP < 0.05 mean difference between placebo, Physta^® 50 mg and Physta^® 100 mg at baseline.

^bP < 0.05 mean changes between Physta^® 100 mg and placebo.

Data are presented as the mean ± SD scores for biochemical parameters across placebo, Physta^® 50 mg, and Physta^® 100 mg groups at baseline, week 6, and week 12. Mixed analysis of variance was used for time-by-group effects, and independent t-tests for between-group comparisons.
