IL-1—Interleukin-1; IL-6—Interleukin; TNF-α—Tumor Necrosis Factor; CRP—C-reactive protein; TAC—total antioxidant capacity; MDA—malondialdehyde. All the coefficients marked in bold were statistically significant. Pearson’s correlation coefficients are marked with an asterisk; otherwise, Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used.
