Note. Each cell shows the correlation coefficient (Pearson’s r) of the change in the cytokine or receptor concentration listed in the row with the change in cytokine or receptor concentration listed in the column. These data are also shown visually in Figure 3.

*

The correlation coefficient differs from zero (p < 0.05, two-tailed).

The correlation coefficient differs by study arm (p < 0.05, two-tailed).
