LIF and asthma: In the multinomial regression, levels of 41 proteins were associated with either lean or overweight/obese asthma, of which Beta‐nerve growth factor (BetaNGF), interleukin 10 (IL‐10), and matrix metalloproteinase 10 (MMP10) were associated only with lean asthma while C‐C motif chemokine 20 (CCL20), fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19), interleukin 5 (IL‐5), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 9 (TNFRSF9), and urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (uPA) were associated only with the overweight/obese asthma phenotype.
