IL-6 levels do not cause insulin resistance in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic Sudanese patients

Abstract

Objective:Insulin resistance is a key feature of type 2 diabetes, characterized by the body's reduced ability to respond to the action ofthe hormone insulin. The exact mechanism behind the development of type II diabetes mellitus is not fully understood, although risk factors like obesity, inflammation, aging, and genetics are acknowledged. This study seeks to evaluate the association between IL6, an inflammatory mediator, and the onset of insulin resistance. Understanding this relationship could enhance our comprehension of the pathogenesis of type II diabetes mellitus and aid in advancing treatment and prevention strategies.
