Characterization of Natural IL-6 Inhibition in Healthy Individuals (FIDI)

May 10, 2023 updated by: Torben Hansen, University of Copenhagen

The aim of the project is to investigate whether or not there are any difference in cardiometabolic outcomes in individuals with high or low levels of c-aAb against interleukin-6 (IL-6).

The study is the first to investigate individuals with extreme amounts of c-aAb levels against IL-6 and to contribute with knowledge on a possible new phenotype.
