IL6 and lipoma: In one patient (#022), a high serum IL-6 value was observed (as seen in Figure 3B) and thus excluded from the mean IL-6 values just reported; it should be mentioned that this patient had a large lipoma on his left shoulder and high levels of IL-6 were observed before entering the protocol which persisted throughout the duration as measured in P1, P2, and P3 samples (data not shown).
