Note. M =Sample Mean; SD =Standard Devation; ΔM = Mean change in cytokine level; KKW = Kilocalories per Kilogram per Week
Note. Each cytokine was measured in pg/mL.
Note. p value = Wilcoxon signed ranked test was used to test for differences in sample
p-value from Wilcoxon signed rank test (two-tailed) for test of Mean change.
