To investigate the associations between serum interleukin (IL) 18 concentrations and indices of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in healthy adults.
Fasting serum concentrations of IL-18, glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterols were measured in 570 apparently healthy adults.
Univariate linear and partial regression analyses showed that the serum IL-18 concentration was positively correlated with serum triglyceride and glucose concentrations in both obese and diabetic subjects after controlling for the confounding effects of age, sex, and body mass index.
IL-18 may be associated with obesity and glucose intolerance.
研究健康成年人血清白细胞介素(IL)-18浓度与脂质和碳水化合物代谢指标之间的关联。
对570名表面健康的成年人测量其空腹血清中IL-18、葡萄糖、总胆固醇、甘油三酯以及高密度和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇的浓度。
单变量线性和偏回归分析显示,在控制年龄、性别和体重指数的混杂效应后,肥胖和糖尿病受试者的血清IL-18浓度与血清甘油三酯和葡萄糖浓度呈正相关。
IL-18可能与肥胖和葡萄糖不耐受有关。
