IL6 and neoplasm: CHX207, but not MCA207‐tumour‐bearing mice exhibited major clinical features of CAC, including systemic inflammation, increased plasma IL‐6 concentrations (190 pg/mL, P ≤ 0.0001), increased energy expenditure (+28%, P ≤ 0.01), adipose tissue loss (−47%, P ≤ 0.0001), skeletal muscle wasting (−18%, P ≤ 0.001), and body weight reduction (−13%, P ≤ 0.01) 13 days after cancer cell inoculation.
