[Table/Fig-5]:

Comparison mean fold change in the expression of NF-κB and PPAR- γ among the pranayama group and control group from baseline to third month.

Groups	Mean fold change in Expression	Baseline	Third Month	Wilcoxon-signed rank test	Mann-Whitney test
Control group	NF-κB	2.59	2.18	p = 0.766 z = -0.298	p = 0.355
	PPAR- γ	-1.23	-0.445	p= 0.128 z = -1.520	p= 0.848
Pranayama group	NF-κB	2.29	-0.29	p = 0.004* z = -2.900	p<0.001*
	PPAR- γ	-1.55	1.88	p = 0.00* z = -4.209	p<0.001*
