Anxiety, panic disorders and a higher risk for cardiovascular disease
have all been associated with an increase of the cytokine interleukin 1-beta (IL-1ß).
This test checks whether your levels are within the normal range.
This test is used to identify elevated levels of interleukin-1 beta(IL-1ß).
Life Extension® believes that chronic inflammation which is modulated by cytokines such as IL-1ß, is the common denominator of all age-related disease. While cytokines are important in the inflammatory response as well as a healthy immune response, the cytokines themselves have the potential for inducing damage, especially at high levels.
IL-1ß is one of the key mediators of the inflammatory response to physical stress with elevated levels being associated with: anxiety, panic disorders, and those at an increased risk cardiovascular disease.
