Determination of markers of systemic inflammation is one of the important directions in the
study of pathogenesis and improvement of diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary …

Background: IL-6 is strongly implicated in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). IL-13 is the well-documented central mediator in allergic asthma. IL-6 is …

COPD is a chronic airway inflammatory disease characterized mainly by neutrophil airway
infiltrations. Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-17 are the key mediators of neutrophilic airway …

Objectives: The development of inflammation in asthma involves an intricate network of
cytokines that recruit and activate numerous immune cells. This study was aimed to compare …

Abstract Interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-22 and IL-10 have been implicated in the development of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but their expression in COPD is uncertain …

Aim To assess the diagnostic value of interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-α
(TNF-α) as inflammatory markers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients …

BACKGROUND: It has been shown that interleukin (IL)-18 levels in induced sputum are
reduced in asthmatic and healthy smokers. However, in chronic obstructive pulmonary …

Interleukin (IL)-18 production and pulmonary function were evaluated in patients with
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to determine the role of IL-18 in …

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that systemic inflammation in patients with
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is accompanied by enhanced interleukin 18 …

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a non-specific inflammation,
which involves the airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary vessels. The inflammation …
