To determine the relationship between inflammatory processes and low MA, the serum levels of a set of 25 cytokines were evaluated, including the pro-cachectic cytokines TNFα, IL-6, IL-1 and IFN-y as well as anti-cachectic cytokines such as IL-10, IL-4, IL-13, and IL-1RA [22] and important markers previously analyzed in ovarian cancer [23]. Here, IL6 is linked to ovarian cancer.
