Characteristics of the study participants at baseline.

<p>Values expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median (25^th to 75^th percentile). Sequence 1 = FVOO, FVOOT and VOO; Sequence 2 = FVOOT, VOO and FVOO; Sequence 3 = VOO, FVOO and FVOOT. No significant differences between groups were observed. To compare means or medians among groups, ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test were performed, respectively; whereas χ2 and exact F-test, as appropriate, were computed to compare proportions. Abbreviations: SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.</p><p>Characteristics of the study participants at baseline.
