Figure 1 Summary of patient enrollment.

Figure 2 Percentage of change in total cholesterol, total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressures after 6 wk post-intervention in both the freeze-dried strawberry and placebo group. ¹Significant reduction in the FDS group compared to the placebo group; P = 0.003 vs P = 0.134; ²Significant reduction within the FDS group in TC, TC/HDL and DBP; P = 0.000, P = 0.002 and P = 0.023 respectively; ³Significant reduction within the placebo group, P = 0.007. TC: Total cholesterol; TC/HDL-C: Total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; DBP: Diastolic blood pressures; SBP: Systolic blood pressures; FDS: Freeze-dried strawberry.
