IFNG and glucocorticoid resistance: Irrespective of glucocorticoid resistance levels, patient levels of CRP (d = 0.23; 95% CI, −0.01 to 0.46), IFN-γ (d = 0.22; 95% CI, −0.02 to 0.47), IL-1β (d = 0.18; 95% CI, −0.24 to 0.61), and IL-2 (d = −0.12; 95% CI, −1.04 to 0.80) were all not significantly different from control.
