The effect of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on some proinflammatory
cytokines, as well as their relationship to serum lipids needs to be
clarified. The current work was carried on 45 male subjects. Their ages ranged
from 43-56 years. They were 25 patients with AMI compared with 20 healthy
subjects matched for the same age and sex as controls For all subjects, serum
interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor -alpha (TNFa)
and lipid profilewere assayed 24 hours post infarction and 6weeks later on. |
