Inflammatory Cytokines and the Risk of Cardiovascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetes
Figure 1
A significant increase in the expression of CD4+IFN-ϒ+ (), CD4+TNF-α+, and CD4+IL-8+ T cells () was shown in all T2DM patients versus control. The expression of CD4+IFN-ϒ+ and CD4+TNF-α+ T cells was significantly higher in patients with CHD versus patients without CHD. PBMCs were stimulated by PMA and ionomycin for 6 h and analyzed for intracellular cytokines by flow cytometry. versus healthy control subjects. versus diabetes without CHD.
