Article Synopsis
- IBS is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits, with inflammation and cytokine imbalance suggested as possible causes.
- The study involved 74 IBS patients and 75 healthy controls, measuring levels of specific cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α) using ELISA.
- Results showed significantly higher cytokine levels in IBS patients compared to controls, indicating their potential role in the disorder's development, though no differences were found among IBS subtypes.
