Macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) mRNA levels were significantly elevated in both healthy and MetS models following AgNP exposure compared to model-matched controls (Figure 3). Here, IL6 is linked to metabolic syndrome.
