Serum IL-36β levels are associated with Insulin sensitivity in paediatric patients with obesity
Authors' conclusion
While these data further indicate a possible protective role for IL-36 in metabolic health, they also differ with previous findings from an adult patient cohort, where elevated levels of the related cytokine, IL-36γ, were found to occur in association with improved metabolic health.
