Altered Serum IL‐6 and TGF‐β1 Levels Are Associated With Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Case–Control Study
Our study findings underscore that lowered IL-6 and TGF-β1 levels might have a role in the pathophysiology and development of GAD. Therefore, the alterations of cytokines have a crucial role in evaluating the GAD patients. We suggest further interventional studies to determine the actual predictive performance of IL-6 and TGF-β1 in GAD.
