Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Interleukin-6 protein has been suggested as a mediator connecting chronic stress and cardiovascular diseases. We investigated whether the functional G174C polymorphism (rs1800795) of interleukin-6 gene is associated with vital exhaustion, a measure of chronic stress, or with preclinical atherosclerosis. METHODS: Associations between the interleukin-6-174G>C polymorphism, preclinical atherosclerosis,...
