A mediation model including workplace social support, IL-6 and diabetes further showed that 10% of the association between social support and diabetes over the three repeat examinations (total effect ß = 0.08, CI 0.01-0.15) was attributable to a weak indirect effect through IL-6 (ß = 0.01, CI 0.00-0.02).
The findings showed that IL-6, vitamin D, and diabetes risk factors were favourably modified by a short-term yoga-based lifestyle intervention in obesity.
It also inhibits cytokine levels, including IL-6, IL-18, IL-33, tumor necrosis factor and IL-1, and may improve insulin production and, therefore, the pathogenesis of diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular health.
We used a combination of animal models of diabetes and analysis of cultured human islets and rodent β-cells to study how IL-6 influences antioxidant response.
After adjusting for BMI and other lifestyle factors, all three biomarkers significantly predicted diabetes risk; the odds ratios (ORs) comparing extreme quintiles were 1.64 (95% CI 1.10-2.45) for TNF-alphaR2, 1.91 (1.27-2.86) for IL-6, and 4.36 (2.80-6.80) for CRP (P for trend <0.001 for all biomarkers).
Serum diagnostic markers of diabetes (insulin, glucose and glycated hemoglobin), inflammatory mediators (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and nitric oxide), and oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity and reduced glutathione and malondialdehyde) were assayed.
In fact, they are yet to demonstrate sufficient accuracy to be accepted in clinical use, and many are not specific to COPD but more related to inflammation (e.g. interleukin-6) or associated with other chronic diseases such as diabetes (e.g. soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproducts [sRAGE]).
(2018) demonstrate that IL-6 infusion has GLP-1-dependent and -independent actions with opposing effects on glucose tolerance, resulting in an overall improvement in healthy male volunteers but no improvement in male patients with diabetes.
Furthermore, immunohistochemistry study showed that diabetes increased interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1β protein expression in atherosclerotic plaques, but alogliptin treatment attenuated diabetes-augmented IL-6 and IL-1β expression.
The inflammatory process in diabetes is associated with the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by endothelial cells, e.g., tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), and with the reduction of cell proliferation.
Recently, cardiotrophin-1, a member of the interleukin-6 family of cytokines was described to protect beta-cells from apoptosis, to improve glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and insulin resistance, and to prevent streptozotocin-induced diabetes in mice.
Regarding to the lungs mRNA expression and immunohistochemistry results of TNF-α, IL1 β, IL6, and NF-κB, it was observed that cytokine levels significantly increased in the diabetes group and the sepsis groups compared to the healthy group; this increase was significantly higher in the diabetes-sepsis groups.
We evaluated the impact of blood cell type distribution and diabetes status on the association between mtDNA-CN and aging phenotypes, namely chronologic age, interleukin-6, hemoglobin, and all-cause mortality, among 672 participants of the InCHIANTI study.
NAFLD participants were younger (mean age 61 ± 10 vs. 63 ± 10 years, p < .0001) but more likely to have an elevated BMI (mean 31.1 ± 5.5 vs. 28.0 ± 5.2 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, p < .0001), diabetes (22% vs. 11%, p < .0001), and increased inflammatory biomarkers, including LpPLA2 activity, hsCRP and IL-6 (all p < .0001).
Mediators of inflammation such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, the IL-6 family of cytokines, IL-18, and certain chemokines have been proposed to be involved in the events causing both forms of diabetes.
Compared to healthy elderly people, presence of diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease was associated with elevated IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 and G-CSF while non-healing wounds coexisted with the increase in the levels of all examined cytokines/growth factors except for G-CSF and GM-CSF.
S100A8/A9 and IL-6 decreased significantly in the group with diabetes remission and in the control group, but not in the group with persistent diabetes.
Insulin sensitivity was correlated with quartiles of plasma TNF-alpha after adjustment for age, sex, obesity, WHR, neutrophils, IL-6 and maximum O(2) uptake (VO2/kg) in the diabetes group (p < 0.05).
Acute-phase biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6 have emerged as predictors of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus, implicating chronic subclinical inflammation as a factor in the pathophysiology of diabetes.
Diabetes decreased glutathione content, and increased reactive oxygen species, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α production in heart and kidney.
