Changes in salivary IL-1β, IL-8 and MCP-1 levels in Yogic Breathing (YB) group when compared with Attention Control (AC) group

	0 min		5 min		10 min		15 min		20 min
	AC	YB	AC	YB	AC	YB	AC	YB	AC	YB
IL-1β (pg/mL)	432.40 (440.99)	87.04 (110.64)	231.69 (248.58)	95.43 (142.79)	184.96 (200.35)	62.96 (60.07)	149.98 (172.63)	66.12 (52.34)	215.10 (211.72)	66.18 (49.24)
IL-8 (pg/mL)	1812.13 (2304.86)	364.68 (375.22)	539.79 (336.52)	150.72 (101.32)	476.28 (275.59)	159.05 (142.59)	426.33 (283.75)	145.47 (100.20)	845.10 (915.08)	196.05 (149.71)
MCP1 (pg/mL)	329.38 (232.63)	143.03 (167.12)	201.90 (95.70)	91.21 (94.37)	186.81 (111.70)	103.95 (113.81)	149.20 (67.97)	97.47 (110.70)	275.95 (211.78)	162.32 (199.17)

Saliva samples from both groups were collected at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 min were analyzed multiplex assay as explained under Methods. Pooled data (with standard deviation in parentheses) expressing levels of IL-1β, IL-8 and MCP-1 levels (pg/mL) from all the individuals from YB and AC groups at each time point were used for statistical analysis using linear mixed models with Auto Regressive order 1 correlation structure
