Table 1: Effects of polyphenolic compounds from pine bark extract on the anthropometric assessment in attention-deficit hyperactive disorder participants.
Values are expressed as the mean ± SD. An asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference compared to group B (p<0.05). B: baseline, before supplementation; P: placebo, 4-week supplementation with maltodextrin and magnesium stearate; PE: 4-week supplementation of polyphenolic compounds from pine bark extract; BMI: body-mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure.
