The role of a dairy fraction rich in milk fat globule membrane in the suppression of postprandial inflammatory markers and bone turnover in obese and overweight adults: an exploratory study

Table 5 Within-subject correlations of bone biomarkers and inflammatory markers^a

Inflammatory variable	C1CP correlation coefficient	p-value	CTX correlation coefficient	p-value
IL-6	−0.20	0.045	−0.08	0.421
IL-18	−0.09	0.338	−0.12	0.202
TNF-α	−0.15	0.118	0.05	0.613
CRP	0.14	0.159	0.08	0.445
IL-10	0.02	0.877	−0.10	0.307
sICAM	0.03	0.748	0.01	0.935

^aCorrelations calculated for incremental area under the transformed curve, controlling for hour 0 values of the two variables. Correlation coefficients were calculated as partial Pearson correlations; mixed model regression (with a random effect of subject) was used to calculate p-values for each correlation in order to account for the fact that the four measurements were not independent of each other. N = 36
Bone variables: type 1 C-terminal collagen propeptide (C1CP), C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX)
Inflammatory variables: interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-18 (IL-18), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-10 (IL-10), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)
