“…The preterm delivery group was found to have significantly elevated IL-2 receptor levels and IL-6 levels were found to be significantly lower in the preterm delivery group among those who responded to tocolytics compared with non-responders. This study suggested that maternal serum IL-6 and IL-2 receptor levels might be of benefit in determining preterm labor and a possible response to tocolytics (25).…”

“…Few studies have demonstrated the relevance of IL-2 and its receptor in the pathogenesis of preterm labor; a possible explanation is that in normal pregnancy, the concentrations of IL-2 and its receptor are relatively low and difficult to measure. But in the case of preterm labor, an increase of this interleukin has been demonstrated indeed, which could imply the chronicity of an inflammatory process and not the acute response as in the case of IL-6 [ 40 ].…”

“…Either Alvarez-de-la-Rosa et al . [30] noted that the concentration of IL-6 and IL-8 in preterm women were higher in comparison to those who were not in labor, although this difference was not statistically significant. Dissimilarity to our findings in another study Bahar et al .…”
