Post hoc ANCOVAs of each cytokine, with age and gender as covariates, showed that macrophage inflammatory protein 3α (MIP-3α) [F(41,1) = 13.29, P = 0.001], IL-17A [F(41,1) = 7.75, P = 0.008], and IL-2 [F(41,1) = 4.23, P = 0.046] were higher in DLB and that IL-8 [F(41,1) = 5.46, P = 0.024] was lower (see Table 2 for remaining results). Here, CXCL8 is linked to Lewy body dementia.
