IL6 and Sepsis: Hosny et al. reported that a short-term (7 days) high-dose EPA and DHA (9 g/d added to 1 g/d ascorbic acid, 400UI/12 h α-tocopherol and 100 μg/d selenium) diet in 37 patients with early-stage sepsis decreased the levels of inflammatory markers such as CRP, IL-6, and procalcitonin, as well as reduced the need for mechanical ventilation and the development of sepsis [110].
