Table 2.
Ratios of serum Th1 and Th2 cytokine concentrations in subjects.
IL-2/IL-4 | IL-2/IL-10 | IFN-γ/IL-4 | IFN-γ/IL-10 | IL-4/IL-10 | |
Control subjects | 2.16 | 1.49 | 5.91 | 4.07 | 0.69 |
Type 2 diabetics | 0.99§ | 0.15§ | 3.95§ | 0.61§ | 0.16§ |
“Th1/Th2 and Th2/Th2 (last column) ratios were shifted toward Th2 phenotype in insulin-treated T2D patients. Values are ratios of mean concentrations of serum cytokines n = 43 healthy control subjects; n = 45 type 2 diabetic patients. The symbol (§) indicates significant difference between the two ratios”.
