Abstract excerpt

Vascular complications, including ischaemic cardiomyopathy, are the major causes of death in old diabetic patients. Chronic inflammation due to high IL-6 production occurs in type 2 diabetes (NIDDM) and atherosclerosis. High levels of IL-6 are associated with hyperglycaemia, dyslipidemia and prov...
