Table 1. Comparison of cytokine levels and cell counts between placebo and the glucocorticoid (GC) groups on days 0 and 7.

Table 1A shows an increased IL-15 concentration on day 0 and Table 1B an increased basophil count on day 7 in the placebo group; n=number of subjects. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant.

A
Placebo n=8	GC n=11	P
Day 0
IL - 15↑	-	0.012

B
Placebo n=5	GC n=6	P
Day 7
