Individual data and changes for morning (7 AM) serum cortisol and cortisone (A, B), and overnight (12 AM to 7 AM) urinary-free (U-free) cortisol and cortisone (C, D) from both interventions. Boxes represent interquartile range (IQR); whiskers mark spread of points within 1.5 times IQR; violins demonstrate distribution of results with the maximum width representing the highest density within each violin. Difference of median values between interventions is presented with p-values. HC: hydrocortisone.
