1Global P-value for significant difference among treatments.
2P-values were determined by using mixed linear models, adjusting for subject and period effects, on log-transformed data. Results are least square means and 95% CIs after back-transformation.
3P-values determined by using Friedman’s chi-squared test.: TNF-α-Tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-Interleukin; sICAM-Soluble intracellular adhesion molecule; hs-CRP-High sensitivity c-reactive protein.
