Moreover, there was a marginally significant negative correlation observed between serum levels of butyric acid and IL-6 in the hippocampus, r = −0.38, t (27) = −2.14, p = 0.04.

The addition of an interaction term to the model had only a marginal improvement in model parameters that did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.082).
Similar diet-induced reductions in hippocampal cytokines were observed in both sexes for IL-6, t (26) = −2.58, p = 0.016 and TNFα, t (26) = −3.11, p = 0.0045, and a trend toward significance in IL-1β t (26) = −1.73, p = 0.09 ( Figure 2B ).
