Interleukin-10 concentration and coronary heart disease (CHD) event risk in the estrogen replacement and atherosclerosis (ERA) study

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a cytokine with pleiotropic properties. Limited biochemical and clinical evidence suggest a link between IL-10 and coronary heart disease (CHD). However, more data are needed to clarify the relationship between IL-10 and risk for CHD events.
