serum levels of tnf-a, il-6, and selenium in patients with acute and chronic coronary artery disease

چکیده
background: selenium (se) is part of the glutathione peroxidase enzyme complex (gsh-px) that plays an important role in antioxidant mechanisms in body, also it has been demonstrated that populations with low se intake have 2-3 times greater risk of ischemic heart disease. objective: to determine the circulating levels of il- 6, tnf-α, cu, zn, and se in patients with chronic coronary artery disease (ccad), acute myocardial infarction (ami), and normal individuals. methods: patients were divided into two groups: 25 subjects with ccad and 25 patients with ami. the control group included 50 normal individuals who did not have any history of ischemic heart disease, and were sex and age matched with the patients. blood samples were collected during the first hours after the onset of chest pain in ami group. serum concentration of se, cu, and zn were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry and tnf-α and il-6 levels were measured using elisa method. results: in both groups of patients there was a significant reduction in serum se levels (82.36 + 11.31 mg/l in ccad, 74.08+11.31mg/l in ami, and 105+32.52mg/l in the control group, p=0.03). tnf-α titers were increased in ami patients compared with ccad and control group. mean tnf-α levels were 37.44 pg/ml in ccad, 914.32 pg/ml in ami, and 4.80 pg/ml in the control group (p=0.01). serum levels of il-6 in ccad and ami patients were 3.28 ±15.55 pg/ml and 472±207.88 pg/ml, respectively, and 1.28 pg/ml in the control group (p=0.001). conclusion: these findings confirm previous studies and demonstrate that patients suffering from ami exhibit lower plasma concentrations of se and higher concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines of tnf-α and il-6.

متن کاملClinical Significance of Serum TNF-a and IL-6 Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Background: Several components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) facilitate its diagnosis, including abdominal obesity, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance. The production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) seem to be associated with MetS components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the serum levels...

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is accompanied by abdominal pain and intestinal discomforts. A line of evidence shows that the immune system plays important roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. Two main cytokines directing the immune system are IL-6 and TNF-α which may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of this disease. The present study aimed at investigating the serum lev...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested soluble tumor necrotizing factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK) and sCD163 may be a potential cardiovascular biomarker. We aimed to evaluate sTWEAK and sCD163 levels and predictive values in patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS Two hundred fourteen angiography-made patients were enrolle...

Introduction: Recent studies have shown that Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), including Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Arachidonic Acid (AA), are associated with cognitive functions in patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Nevertheless, controversial results have been reported, too. The current study aimed to clarify the association of serum EPA and AA levels with cognitive decline...
