Description

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) levels decrease in plasma and muscle. Plasma and muscle tissue IL-15 levels decreased with age. mRNA expression levels of the soluble IL-15-alpha receptor also decreased with age. In muscle tissue the mRNA levels of the IL-15 receptor did however not change with age (mIL-15R-alpha, IL-2R-beta, and IL-2R-gamma).
