↑ TNF-α levels in asymptomatic AAA patients compared to patients with either symptomatic AAA or aneurysm rupture [132,133,135]↑ pro-inflammatory IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α levels in plasma and aortic tissue extracts of ruptured AAA patients [139,140,141]↓ anti-inflammatory IL-10 levels in AAA patient plasma or explanted AAA lesion culture [140,142,143]Conflicting results report ↑ IL-10 plasma levels in ruptured compared to non-ruptured AAA patients, may be a compensatory anti-inflammatory response [141]. Here, IL6 is linked to aneurysm.
