B) Colony-stimulating factor (CSF),interleukins (IL-1,IL-5,IL-7),and prostaglandins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic gastritis is characterized by the presence of inflammatory cells, such as lymphocytes and plasma cells, in the gastric mucosa. These inflammatory cells release cytokines, including tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-), interleukins (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10), and leukotrienes, which contribute to the chronic inflammation and tissue damage in gastritis. Choices B, C, and D are not correct because they do not include cytokines commonly associated with chronic gastritis.
