Fig. 1: Serum IL-6 concentrations.

Violin plots showing the median, upper and lower quartile, outliers (depicted as circles, values deviating more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the upper or lower quartile) and the kernel probability density of the data. Serum IL-6 concentrations (pg/ml): HC: Median = 0.62, interquartile range = 0.70, range = <0.03–10.44; acAN-T1: Median = 0.51, interquartile range = 0.61, range = <0.03 to 9.82; acAN-T2: Median = 0.52, interquartile range = 0.75, range = 0.08–7.13; recAN: Median = 0.63, interquartile range = 0.63, range = 0.27–6.45. The figure was created with JASP [65]. acAN-TP1 acutely underweight participants with AN at timepoint 1 (admission), acAN-TP2 participants with AN at timepoint 2 (after short-term weight restoration), HC healthy control participants, recAN individuals long-term weight-recovered from AN.
