Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, because of defects in the production, secretion and / or action of insulin, producing alterations in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins; associated with a process of chronic inflation in a variable period, it will cause macro and microvascular lesions. Objective: Evaluate serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in type 2 diabetic patients and their correlation with lipid profile. Methods: An analytical and cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out, including 60 adults of both sexes between the age of 30 and 60, with type 2 diabetes mellitus who attended the Endocrinology consultation of the Hospital Militar Universitario Dr. Carlos Arvelo. Basal blood glucose, interleucine-6, lipid profile, and anthropometric parameters, body composition, age, and time of evolution of diabetes, was determined. Results: The average age of 51.60 years ± 6.51, where 71.6% corresponded to the female sex and 28.3% to the male, diabetes evolution time between a month and 37 years, with an average of 10.97 years. A statistically significant low positive correlation between interleukin-6 and triglyceride, VLDL and non-HDL parameters was presented. Conclusion: Elevated IL-6 values were found in all type 2 diabetic patients, as well as a positive correlation between IL-6 and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. This supports the idea that hypertriglyceridemia can cause inflammatory changes in diabetic patients and this would raise the cardiovascular risk of these patients.
