Pre- and post-supplementation inflammatory marker levels (n = 191).
| Biomarkers | Pre n-3 FA | Post n-3 FA | p-Value 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRP levels (mg/L) 2 | 1.78 ± 2.09 | 1.81 ± 2.07 | 0.95 |
| TNF-α levels (ρg/mL) 3 | 1.70 ± 1.48 | 1.68 ± 1.30 | 0.69 |
| IL-6 levels, (ρg/mL) 2 | 1.34 ± 1.13 | 1.28 ± 0.98 | 0.54 |
Values are means ± SD. * p < 0.05; 1 p-value are derived from a MIXED procedure for repeated measures adjusted for age, sex and BMI (except for the BMI and the waist circumference that were adjusted only for age and sex); 2 values were log(10) transformed; 3 values were normalised using the Box-Cox transformation.
