TNF and ischemic stroke: The IL-6 (5.59 pg/mL vs. 7.29 pg/mL) with p = 0.016 and TNF-α levels (33.43 pg/mL vs. 49.60 pg/mL) with p = 0.017 assessed in time < 4.5 h were statistically lower in patients suffering from the LACI (lacunar cerebral infarct) ischemic stroke in comparison to the patients with PACI (partial anterior circulation infarct) stroke.
