PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 months from baseline

Population: Analysis limited to those who completed study (10 subjects in the intervention group and 10 subjects in the placebo group).

Participants with changes in gene expression were assessed by RNA-sequencing (i.e., sample has sufficient RNA for analysis) between baseline and up to 3 months are tallied.
