Popis: In 59 healthy subjects of different age groups with no signs of inflammatory processes, the basal II-6 levels were measured. The II-6 concentrations were significantly higher in the oldest group (66-90 years) than in the two other age groups (24-40, 41-65 years). A positive correlation was found between age and II-6 concentration (r = 0.470). Otherwise, a statistically detectable relationship was found merely with alpha-2-macroglobulin and with total and LDL cholesterol.
