Table 2.

Cytokine-stimulated production in participants stratified by sex.

Cytokine Men
(n = 120)		 Women
(n = 133)		 p Value
IL-10 (pg·10−3 cells) 20.6 (13.5, 28.4) 29.1 (17.4, 42.1) <0.001 *
IL-6 (pg·10−3 cells) 372.8 (262.7, 536.6) 428.8 (331.7, 586.4) 0.068
TNF-α (pg·10−3 cells) 56.0 (33.9, 85.3) 49.4 (30.8, 69.1) 0.039 *

Values are expressed as median (25th, 75th percentile) and represent the difference between cytokine concentration in stimulated and unstimulated cultures. * indicates significant differences between sexes (p < 0.05).
