This study compared the results of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-[alpha]), interleukin-2 soluble receptor (sIL-2R), nitric oxide metabolites ([NO.sup.x]), C-reactive protein (CRP), and lipids (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL-cholesterol), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-cholesterol), and triglycerides) between control group (nondiabetic subjects) and overweight type 2 DM subjects.
