Measurement of Plasma Cytokines Level in patients with Essential Hypertension and its Significance
-
Abstract
ELISA and bioactivity assay were used to measure the plasma level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), gamma interferon (IFN-r) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF )in 42 patients with essential hypertension (EH), and 40 normotensive subjects as control. The results showed that the plasma levels of TNF, IFN-r and PDGF in patients were significantly higher than those in the control (P<0.01 ).
