Urinary IL-1β levels are elevated in overweight and obese patients. (A) Urinary IL-1β levels in patient samples in relationship to BMI: Underweight (N = 1), Normal (N = 11), Overweight (N = 2), Obese (N = 9). Urinary IL-1β was analyzed in triplicate by ELISA and data expressed as mean (pg/ml) ± standard error in the age matched subset cohort. (B) Average urinary IL-1β levels and average BMI per diagnosis category: Normal (N = 2), Ovarian Benign (N = 9), Ovarian Cancer (N = 11). Data expressed as mean (pg/ml) ± standard error of BMI and mean urinary IL-1β in age matched subset cohort following descriptive, Mann–Whitney U and Wilcoxon W analyses.
