Association between cytokines production and T2D glycemic control in Egyptian patients |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Several investigations reported that 45.7% of diabetics were obese, and 78.5% were overweight. In addition, it has been shown that waist circumference and body max index (BMI) - as the obesity markers - are the major risk factor of developing diabetes T2. Cytokines play a very important role in nearly all aspects of inflammation and immunity. Interleukins are a type of cytokines that were first seen to be expressed by leukocytes. Cytokines have been shown to promote hepatic fatty acid syntheses and induce the liver to produce more acute-phase proteins, as well as recruit more inflammatory cells to adipose tissue and pancreatic beta-cells. Moreover, TNF-¿ is known to directly inhibit insulin signaling, resulting in insulin resistance. Therefore, inflammatory cytokines not only affect insulin resistance but may also contribute directly to beta-cell apoptosis and beta-cell failure, ultimately leading to type 2 diabetes. |
