Effect of prenatal EPA and DHA on maternal and umbilical cord blood cytokines

Table 2 Variables predictive of maternal cytokine concentrations

Variable	Cytokine	Slope	Standard error +/−	Significance
EPA-rich fish oil group	IL6	−76.3	32.2	0.02
EPA-rich fish oil group	IL15	−23.8	10.9	0.03
EPA-rich fish oil group	TNFα	− 141.1	62.6	0.03
DHA fraction	IL1α	4.64	2.33	0.05
DHA fraction	IL10	4.82	2.36	0.04
EPA fraction	IL10	−18.8	8.42	0.03
BMI at entry	TNFβ	−0.64	0.32	0.05

All analyses were adjusted for the following variables: Baseline concentrations of each cytokine, maternal BMI, maternal serum EPA fraction adjusted for baseline and DHA fraction adjusted for study baseline
