Recent studies in mouse models of T2D showed that interleukin-6 (IL-6), released from skeletal muscle, is associated with increased glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Few data currently exist exploring the relationship between IL-6 and beta-cell function in humans. We investigated whether IL-6 is positively associated with beta-cell function in newly diagnosed T2D. We extended the same analyses to IL-10, because it regulated similarly to IL-6 in skeletal muscle, and TNF-α and C-reactive protein (CRP), as general biomarkers of inflammation.

Abstract
Recent studies in mouse models of T2D showed that interleukin-6 (IL-6), released from skeletal muscle, is associated with increased glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Few data currently exist exploring the relationship between IL-6 and beta-cell function in humans. We investigated whether IL-6 is positively associated with beta-cell function in newly diagnosed T2D. We extended the same analyses to IL-10, because it regulated similarly to IL-6 in skeletal muscle, and TNF-α and C-reactive protein (CRP), as general biomarkers of inflammation.
