We measured plasma concentrations of the following cytokines and chemokines: Interferon gamma (IFN-[gamma]), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-12p40 (IL-12p40), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), soluble CD40L (sCD40L), interleukin-1[beta] (IL-1[beta]), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-RA (IL-RA), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-13 (IL-13), eotaxin, fractalkine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and chemokine (CXC motif) ligand8 (CXCL8 or formally known as IL-8)), and metabolic hormones such as connecting peptide (c-peptide), Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon, insulin, peptide tyrosine or
pancreatic peptide [YY.sub.3-36] (PYY), and leptin.
Additional RISH probes under development include alpha-fetoprotein, calcitonin, cytomegalovirus, gastrin, insulin,
pancreatic peptide, and more.
