Comparison of the clinical data and measured biochemical parameters in the serum of patients with adenomas and control subjects (mean ± SD)

Parameters	Control (n = 34)	Adenoma (n = 62)	P value
Age (yr)	67.6 ± 15.9	67.7 ± 8.2	NS
Sex (F/M)	14/20	23/39	NS
BMI	23.5 ± 5.0	23.9 ± 3.4	NS
TNF-α (pg/mL)	5.56 ± 1.3	4.83 ± 1.9	NS
sTNF-R1 (ng/mL)	1.57 ± 0.72	3.67 ± 0.86	< 0.001
