Abstract excerpt

Several studies have proposed a relationship between blood pressure and inflammation. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine involved in inflammation and tissue injury and potentially influencing blood pressure. Recently, a common polymorphism of the IL-6 gene, associated with differences in the transcription rate of the protein, has been described. The aim of this study was to investigate a possible...
