متن کاملBrief Genetics Report Interleukin-6 Gene Polymorphism and Insulin Sensitivity
Type 2 diabetes and the insulin resistance syndrome have been hypothesized to constitute manifestations of an ongoing acute-phase response. We aimed to study an interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene polymorphism in relation to insulin sensitivity (I L-6 is the main cytokine involved in an acute-phase response). Subjects homozygous for the C allele at position –174 of the IL-6 gene (SfaNI genotype), associa...
