2.4. Gene Expression Levels of Inflammatory Markers in PBMC Are Reduced with Both Protein-Enriched Dietary Interventions
To better understand intervention effects on immune cells in old adults, we analyzed expression levels of genes coding cytokines/chemokines in isolated PBMC. Within-group comparison showed significant reductions in gene expression levels of IL-6 (In women, sex-stratified analyses indicated in the protein as well as the protein + omega-3 group significant reductions on gene expression levels of
