Cross-sectional study on 20 GCA patients with AD, 20 GCA patients without AD, and 20 non-GCA controls without AD measuring leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum amyloid A (SAA), interferon (IFN)-α, IFN-γ, IFN-γ-induced protein 10 (IP-10), interleukin (IL) 5, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17A, IL-18, IL-1 receptor antagonist, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), L-selectin, P-selectin, and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1). Here, CXCL8 is linked to Alzheimer disease.
