Plasma cytokine levels (pg/mL) in Alzheimer’s patients (AD) and control subjects (Control). Whole blood was obtained during fasting and 3.5 hours after consumption of a moderately high-fat meal (postprandial). The following cytokines were measured in the plasma fraction: interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-12 p70, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. IL-10 and IL-12 p70 were elevated in AD patients during fasting, while IL-12 p70 was also elevated in AD patients in the postprandial period. Data are expressed as means ± SD. *p<0.05 compared to control, and #p<0.05 for fasting AD compared to postprandial AD (two-way repeated measures ANOVA).
