Does inulin ingestion reduce metabolic inflammation markers in type 2 diabetic females?
Inulin ingestion for three weeks significantly reduces markers of systemic inflammation and insulin resistance in females with type 2 diabetes.

Short-term inulin may reduce inflammation markers in type 2 diabetic females; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
Systemic inflammation describes certain metabolic alterations which are mediated by inflammatory cytokines. Theses occur essentially as a defensive body response towards offending agents such as surplus nutrient staffs. Our aim is to find out the role of inulin as a protective agent against metabolic inflammation. Twenty eight type 2 diabetic females were subjected to the estimation of their serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein, lipopolysaccharides, tumor necrosis factor alpha, adiponectin and HOMA-IR test before and after three weeks of inulin ingestion. There was a significant drop in the level of serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein, lipopolysaccharides, tumor necrosis factor alpha, HOMA-IR and a non-significant rise in serum adiponectin after inulin ingestion. In summary inulin can act as a useful protective agent in systemic inflammation.

Wg et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Type 2 diabetes (n=28). Inulin vs. Baseline (before ingestion) was evaluated on Serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein, lipopolysaccharides, tumor necrosis factor alpha, adiponectin and HOMA-IR. Three weeks of inulin ingestion in type 2 diabetic females significantly reduced serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein, lipopolysaccharides, TNF-alpha, and HOMA-IR compared to baseline.
