Omega-3 supplementation influenced IL-10 stress reactivity (p=0.047). Supplementation with either 2.5 g/d and 1.25 g/d of omega-3 prevented changes in IL-10 following an acute stressor (ps>0.31). In contrast, those in the placebo group had an 18% decline in the geometric mean of IL-10 from pre-stress to 120 minutes after the stressor (p=0.004), such that their IL-10 geometric mean was 26% lower than the high dose group (p=0.012) and 20% lower than the low dose group (p=0.047) 120 minutes after the stressor. Error bars are ± 1 standard error.
