Abstract excerpt

Circulating levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) are raised in insulin resistant states such as obesity, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Growing evidence suggests that IL-6 is not only produced by fat cells but is also capable of inducing insulin resistance in the...
