Inflammation as a factor of the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes

Abstract

Insulin resistance (IR) is a leading factor of type 2 diabetes (T2D), the central and governing component of the metabolic syndrome (MS), that also appears as obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and essential hypertension.
Recent experimental studies have indicated that proinflammatory cytokines, adipocytokines, and transcription factors are implicated in the pathogenesis of IR, as evidenced by a number of clinical observations in patients with MS and T2D, in whom IR correlates with the status of chronic mild inflammation. Based on the results of these studies, a search for methods for exposure of IR has been initiated, by controlling inflammation. The first results encourage and suggest that anti-inflammatory agents improve tissue susceptibility to insulin and they are promising for the treatment of MS and T2D.
