Inflammatory Cytokine Profiling

Meaning

Inflammatory Cytokine Profiling is the quantitative assessment of specific signaling proteins, or cytokines, released by immune cells that mediate and regulate inflammatory responses throughout the body. In hormonal health, chronic, low-grade inflammation profoundly impacts insulin sensitivity and sex hormone binding, making this profile a key diagnostic adjunct. Elevated or dysregulated cytokine levels often signal a disruption in metabolic homeostasis that requires clinical attention. This analysis reveals the activity level of the immune system’s communication network.
