IL-1—Interleukin-1; IL-6—Interleukin; TNF-α—Tumor Necrosis Factor α; CRP—C-reactive protein; TAC—total antioxidant capacity; MDA—malondialdehyde. The r coefficients are either Spearman’s correlation coefficients (not marked) or Pearson’s correlation coefficients (r marked with an asterisk). All the p-value marked in bold were statistically significant.
