Although not significant, total body weight showed similar tendencies and was reduced by
1.5 kg (95% CI,− 0.2 to 3.2; P= 0.079) more in the exercise+ placebo group compared with
the exercise+ tocilizumab group. The same was the case with PAT mass (11 g [95% CI,− 15
to 37], P= 0.41;≈ 17%[95% CI, 0–34], P= 0.049) for exercise+ placebo versus exercise+
tocilizumab, respectively (Figure, C). PAT was increased in the no exercise+ tocilizumab
group (28 g [95% CI, 9–47];≈ 22%[95% CI, 9–34]) but not in the no exercise+ placebo …
