Growth Modeling of the Maternal Cytokine Milieu throughout Normal Pregnancy: Macrophage-Derived Chemokine Decreases as Inflammation/Counterregulation Increases

Table 3

Cytokines with linear trimester as the time covariate, ordered by decreasing within-subject variance explained by adding trimester to the unconditional growth model (UGM).
