Inflammatory Cytokine Assays

Meaning

Inflammatory cytokine assays are specialized clinical laboratory tests used to quantitatively measure the circulating concentrations of various signaling proteins that mediate the inflammatory response, such as Interleukin-6, Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha, and high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein. These assays provide a precise biochemical assessment of the body’s systemic inflammatory load, which is a key driver of hormonal dysregulation, insulin resistance, and accelerated biological aging. Monitoring these crucial markers is essential for guiding effective anti-inflammatory interventions in any longevity or wellness protocol.
