Values are changes from baseline and are means ± SD from a subset of participants: normal weight (n = 8; 3 males/5 females) and obese (n = 5; 3 males/2 females). Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA. From the initial model that included the isoproterenol (Iso)-by-ketorolac interaction effect, no significant interaction was detected (P > 0.05). *P < 0.05 vs. control. COX, cyclooxygenase.
