The lower and upper CI and mean change between wk8-wk0 in TAD (black bars) and DGA (grey bars), inset with effect size of change (ES) calculated as mean /pooled standard deviation on the right corner are shown in panels A – D. Panels A and B show data from fasting plasma, while C and D show data from PBMC’s, with the exception of IP-10 in panel D (which was graphed with other variables that could share the x-axis). The upper and lower CI are depicted at the ends of the bars, and the mean is represented by the while line/space at the center of each bar. Large intervals were noticed in several immunological parameters, suggesting low power. Based on effect size of change observed, both MMP3 and CRP have medium to large effect sizes (denoted by black dotted rectangles), trailed by IL-6 and IP-10. LPS-IL-6 also had slightly more than low effect size (at 0.31). While MMP3 and IP-10 increased following DGA, and decreased following TAD, and the reverse was true in CRP and IL-6
