What IL-8 and MCP-1 do
IL-8 (CXCL8) and MCP-1 (CCL2) are chemokines: messages that help call immune cells to an area. You may see either name on a report.

If you are exploring homocysteine or cytokines, Dr. Purser may discuss MTHFR Daily and the VARS Triad: VARS Glutathione, VARS SOD, and VARS Catalase. He gives glutathione a central place in his approach to antioxidant…
