  1. Note. BIS-11 = Barratt Impulsiveness Scale; DGI = Delaying Gratification Inventory.
  2. All cytokine measures were transformed prior to analyses; shown here are the raw values prior to transformation in pg/mL. White blood cell count was also transformed; shown here raw as number × 109/L. Stimulated release values shown here collapsing across the four time points: 2, 24, 48, and 72 hours.
