Plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured using ELISA kits for human TNF-α (ThermoFisher Scientific) and human IL-6 (Abcam). Plasma high sensitivity-C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were measured by the hs-CRP immunoturbidimetric assay on a Beckman Coulter Olympus AU5800 analyzer. All assays were carried out in accordance with the manufacturers’ protocol and each plasma sample was measured in duplicates.
