Abdominal Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus are Associated With Higher Seric Levels of IL 4 in Adults.

Abstract

Serum IL4 was 0.38 ±0,40 pg / mL in the Control group, 0.366 (0,100-2,35) pg / ml in group O, 4.66±3.73 pg / ml in group OD, 0.30 (0.10-1.35) pg / ml in NOD. When IL4 levels were compared between the four groups, statistical significance was reached for the comparison between groups OD and M. Statistically significant correlations were detected between IL4 and age, waist circumference and hip circumference, blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), VLDL, triglycerides and serum protein fraction β1. In univariate regression, the IL4 level predictors were age, height, BMI, abdominal circumference, hip circumference, beta 1% glucose, HbA1c, total lipids, total cholesterol, VLDL triglycerides, CRP. In multivariate regression, waist circumference and glycemia were significant predictors of levels of IL4 (p = 0.0001).
