Pre-diabetes and diabetic neuropathy are associated with low serum levels of interleukin-9

Background Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a cytokine that has recently been proposed to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk, but the role it plays in the development of pre-diabetes (PD) and diabetic neuropathy (DN) is unknown. Therefore, this study analyzed serum IL-9 levels in individ...

Description
Summary:Background Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a cytokine that has recently been proposed to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk, but the role it plays in the development of pre-diabetes (PD) and diabetic neuropathy (DN) is unknown. Therefore, this study analyzed serum IL-9 levels in individuals with PD (n = 89), T2DM patients without DN (n = 66), T2DM patients with DN (n = 21), and non-diabetic controls (n = 84) using an ELISA kit . Results Serum IL-9 levels (median and interquartile range) were significantly lower in the PD (18.9 [12.6–22.1] pg/mL; probability [ p ]
