摘要
Studies have demonstrated that circulating levels of plasma cytokines are influenced greatly by age and that chronic elevated levels of certain cytokines are associated with chronic diseases. This article discusses the origin of age-associated elevations in circulating levels of cytokines, focusing on the multifunctional tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) and their possible biologic effects in age-associated diseases.
