Summary

Cytokines are chemicals that are naturally made by your body. Certain cytokine levels are changed in the blood of patients who develop allergies and/or asthma. Cytokine levels may also be changed in some individuals who are overweight or obese. The purpose of this study is to determine if certain cytokine levels differ based on a person's weight and whether or not they have allergies or asthma. Information gathered in this study will be compared to information gathered from subjects who have participated in another similar study for patients who have allergies and/or asthma.
