Association of IL-6 with Diabetes Mellitus in Indian Population from Navi Mumbai
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 0, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Diabetes has already reached an epidemic level in India. Chronic inflammation has been considered as a culprit for setting pathophysiological changes which results in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. IL-6 is one of the several proinflammatory cytokines that have been associated with type 2 diabetes. Very few studies on role of circulatory IL-6 in diabetes have been published in Indians. This study aims to determine the serum levels of IL-6 in diabetic patients and compare them with healthy controls. We hypothesized that circulating IL-6 levels increases in diabetes due to underline chronic inflammation. Conclusion: Our results concluded that increased serum IL-6 levels compared to normal controls might be associated with inflammation related pathophysiology in type 2 diabetes.
