Association between changes in plasma oleic acid content (%) and IL-2 production (all participants). The percent changes in plasma oleic acid were ranked in 5 quintiles, Q1 (−5.14 to-2.68); Q2, (−2.69 to −0.35); Q3, (−0.18 to 0.5); Q4, (0.89 to 2.66), and Q5, (2.78 to 7.32); N = 8 participants in each quintile. The change in IL-2 production in response to anti-CD3/anti-CD28 after 3 months is shown in Q1 and Q5. * Significantly different from Q1 by ANCOVA adjusting for age, sex and the baseline values of oleic acid and IL-2 at P < 0.01
