CCL 11 = eotaxin-1, EN-RAGE = protein S100-A12, IL 5 = interleukin 5, OSM = oncostatin-M, MCP 1 = monocyte chemotactic protein 1, MMP10 = matrix-metalloproteinase-10, TNFRSF9 = tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9. Correlations were calculated using Spearman’s correlation test. p-values < 0.1 are presented. p-values ≤ 0.01 were considered statistically significant.
