Altered serum mineral concentrations among pulmonary tuberculosis and its association with Vitamin D, adipokines and inflammatory cytokines
The findings from our study suggest a potential role of circulating minerals in promoting or demoting inflammation by regulating inflammatory cytokines involved in TB. Further studies are required to understand the importance of nutritional intervention in controlling and preventing TB.
