Abstract excerpt

Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. There is increasing evidence suggesting that inflammation is involved in the development of hypertension. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important mediator of inflammatory response and the major regulator of hepatic production of acute phase proteins, such as fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP), which have been associated with hypertension and...
