Table 3.
Mean (SD) of sTNFR-1, factor (TNF)-α receptor (sTNFR)-2, IL-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels across neopterin quartiles.
| Neopterin quartiles (range in nmol/ml) | 0–25% (0–10.88) | 26–50% (10.92–16.49) | 51–75% (16.51–27.10) | 76–100% (27.13–174.04) | p-Value* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sTNFR-1 (pg/ml) | 1,500 (584) | 1,522 (479) | 1,641 (566) | 1,899 (875) | <0.0001 |
| sTNFR-2 (pg/ml) | 4,406 (1,658) | 4,867 (2,102) | 6,067 (2,921) | 8,522 (4,754) | <0.0001 |
| IL-6 (pg/ml) | 3.84 (8.92) | 3.31 (6.40) | 3.58 (9.17) | 3.07 (5.89) | 0.776 |
| CRP (pg/ml) | 3,491 (4,521) | 3,539 (4,647) | 3,999 (7,879) | 3,246 (5,765) | 0.444 |
*p-Value is from the trend test of the differences in sTNFR-1, sTNFR-2, IL-6, and CRP Levels across Neopterin quartiles.
