Chekhov’s “The Butterfly”

Geometric mean of protein carbonyls was 0.082 nmol/mg. After adjusting for age and smoking status, log(e) serum protein carbonyls were associated with log(e) IL-6 (beta = 0.143, standard error [SE] = 0.048, p =.003) in linear regression analyses and with elevated IL-6 (> or =2.5 pg/mL) (odds ratio = 1.38, 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.86, p =.037) in logistic regression analyses. CONCLUSION. Oxidative damage to proteins is independently associated with serum IL-6 among older women living in the community. Increased oxidative stress may be a factor involved in the pathogenesis of the proinflammatory state that occurs in older adults.
