Tumour necrosis factor‐alpha plasma level in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and its association with glycaemic control and cardiovascular risk factors

Abstract

Our data indicate that TNF-alpha plasma levels are increased in type 1 diabetes mellitus and reveal a significant association with metabolic long-term control parameters, HbA1c and fructosamine for glycaemic control, and HDL cholesterol for triglyceride metabolism, as well with lipid peroxidation.
