Data pre and post DHA administration shown as mean (+/- SD) in 10 subjects. Inflammatory markers measured in 5 subjects.
P-value is significant after adjustment for multiple testing using FDR < 5% level
AST = aspartate aminotransferase ALT = alanine transaminase PTT = partial thromboplastin time
hs CRP = high sensitivity C-reactive protein IL = interleukin
TNF a = tumor necrosis factor alpha
