Differences in changes to serum chemokine levels within 3 hours after consumption of APR extract versus placebo.
p<0.10
The results are shown as the group averages ± standard error of the mean of the individual percent changes from baseline after consuming APR extract where changes after consuming placebo are subtracted. A. Interferon-gamma inducing Protein-10 (IP-10): The relative increase associated with APR consumption reached statistical significance after 1 hour, and a high level of statistical significance after 2 hours. The relative increase in IP-10 levels returned to similar levels as after consuming placebo after 3 hours. B. Monocyte Chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1): A relative increase after consumption reached a statistical trend at 1 hour after consuming APR extract, and statistical significance after 2 and 3 hours. C. Eotaxin: A relative decrease reached statistical trends at 1 and 2 hours, but lost significance at 3 hours. D. RANTES: A 25% decrease at 2 hours reached statistical significance. Levels of statistical significance are shown on the graphs where changes from baseline to a later time point is indicated by asterisks, where p<0.10: (*), p<0.05: * and p<0.01: **.At the same time, Eotaxin and RANTES showed relative decreases (Several other cytokines showed changes (
