Acute (2 week) topical corticosteroids and longer-term (12 week) omega-3 supplementation reduced tear levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-17A and IL-6, demonstrating parallels in modulating ocular inflammation with these approaches.
Here, we evaluated the functional hierarchy of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-17A, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the induction of ocular inflammation.
