The observed changes in both IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA levels in PBMCs may contribute to the development of inflammatory processes involved in the pathogenesis of T2D. Downregulation of IL1R1 in individuals with mild hyperglycemia may indicate an attempt to reduce the pro-inflammatory effects of IL-1β via auto-stimulation.
