Fig 2. Changes in levels of IL-6, sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2 following 6 months of treatment with adalimumab or infliximab.
Level of IL-6 and sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2 were determined in 26 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 15 patients treated with adalimumab, and 11 patients treated with infliximab. Levels were determined prior to treatment (Baseline) and following 6 months of treatment (Follow-up). Levels of IL-6 (A) and sTNF-R2 (C) decreased significantly during treatment. *p < 0.05. Medians and interquartile ranges are shown.
