Peripheral Mononuclear Cell Resistin mRNA Expression Is Increased in Type 2 Diabetic Women

Table 4

Circulating resistin, TNF-𝛼, IL-6, and IL-1𝛽 protein levels between the subgroups of the NGT- and the DM2-women.

		Resistin (ng/mL)	TNF-𝛼 (pg/mL)	IL-6 (pg/mL)	IL-1𝛽 (pg/mL)
NGT	BMI < 27	2.65±0.19	2.07±0.19	0.80±0.14	1.37±0.39
	BMI > 27	2.98±0.23	2.32±0.20	1.77±0.36^∗	0.97±0.52
DM2	BMI < 27	3.24±0.45	2.14±0.45	0.93±0.18^§	1.19±0.85
