aReadout IL-8 production, pg/ml. NLR and TLR response was defined as low or high: outside LL or UL values of the 99% CI in the healthy volunteers. bLow antioxidant levels: value below to LL with a 99% CI in the healthy volunteers. cReadout TNF-α production, pg/ml. Low or high response of IFNGR was defined as TNF-α concentration outside LL or UL value of the 99% CI in the healthy volunteers. The IFNGR receptor increases <100% of the TNF-α concentration after LPS+rhIFN-γ vs. LPS alone. dReadout IFN-γ production, pg/ml. Low or high response of IL-12R was defined as IFN-γ concentration outside LL or UL values of the 99% CI in the healthy volunteers. The IL-12 increases <100% of the IFN-γ production after rhIL-12 plus PHA stimulation with respect to PHA alone. CI: confidence interval; LL: lower limit; UL: upper limit; nd: not determined.
