Elevated Serum Level of Interleukin 17 in a Population With Prehypertension

Cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The authors hypothesized that interleukin 17 (IL‐17) might contribute to the prehypertensive state. This study evaluated the relationship between serum levels of IL‐17 and prehypertension. A total of 394 participants were enrolled...

Description
Summary:Cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The authors hypothesized that interleukin 17 (IL‐17) might contribute to the prehypertensive state. This study evaluated the relationship between serum levels of IL‐17 and prehypertension. A total of 394 participants were enrolled, after excluding for hypertension or treated hypertension, and divided into two groups (optimal blood pressure [BP] and prehypertension) based on the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure classification of BP. Optimal BP was defined as systolic BP
