Correlation between Serum Interleukin-12 and Lipid Profiles in Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetic Patients

Abstract

The current study aimed to evaluate the level of IL12 CYTOKINE and how it correlates with the level of lipids in diabetic patients. The results indicated a mean elevation in IL-12 levels among the research participants (11.85: SE 0.64) compared to the control group (6.63: SE 0.34). This cytokine may be critical in the development of T2DM, in which inflammatory reactions associated with IL-12 gene expression are accelerated by interfering with excessive insulin concentration. It also showed an insignificant correlation between this cytokine and lipid levels.
