Implication

TNF-α may mark insulin resistance beyond adiposity in IGT/T2D; leaves open causal role and need for interventional confirmation.

Structured PICO

Population

Large, multiethnic population from the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study

Outcome

Association of TNF-α with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D)surrogate

Circulating TNF-α levels are independently associated with impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance, with variations observed across different ethnicities.
