Search for: [Abstract = "IL\-2, IL\-6, IL\-7, IL\-12, IL\-6, IL21, TNFα, INFγ\) and Factor 2 anti\-inflammatory \(containing IL\-13 and IL\-5\). We found no association between the Factors and the blood pressure values. Conclusions The levels of inflammatory makers in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension are comparable to those in healthy control group. We do not find any relation between inflammatory indices and blood pressure values. Patients with short duration chronic inflammatory joint diseases, despite higher values of inflammatory indices and the presence of endothelial dysfunction markers, do not differ in blood pressure values or vascular stiffness compared to healthy subjects. Subjects with newly diagnosed hypertension have reduced urocortin 2 levels compared to healthy subjects, and Ucn2 levels exhibit an age\- and sex\-independent association with diastolic nocturnal blood pressure values in hypertensive patients."]
