Bookmarking. The distinction being drawn above is the one nobody else makes. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.
Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then measure again under the same conditions.
Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. Nothing to add that would improve it.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. If two explanations both fit, the useful question is which one predicts something the other does not. That is answerable; arguing about which sounds more plausible is not.
The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. If you are comparing against somebody else’s result, check that you are comparing the same measurement taken the same way. Most of the apparent contradictions in these threads dissolve at that step.
