Female T2DM (n=79) |
Male controls (n=94) |
Female controls (n=86) |
P value
<0.05 |
| TNF-α (pg/dl) | 8.4±0.9 | 8.9±1.0 | 3.5±0.3 | 3.3±0.3 | 0.000 |
| IL-6 (pg/dl) | 6.8±0.7 | 7.6±0.8 | 1.4±0.1 | 1.4±0.1 | 0.000 |
| CRP (mg/dl) | 0.8±0.1 | 1.0±0.1 | 0.6±0.06 | 0.6±0.06 | 0.000 |
| WBC (thousands) | 1944±216 | 1741±195 | 1448±149 | 1350±145 | 0.072 |
Data are presented as means ± SD. The significance of the difference is based on the one-way T-test. p value < 0.05 is statistically significant
