The median of LPS induced secretion in monocytes from controls was 9,469 pg/ml (range 1,503–16,000) and in monocytes isolated from T1D patients 2,742 pg/ml (range 775–7,431) (Figure 1A) indicating a significant reduced IL-6 release in monocytes from T1D patients (p = 0.001). Here, IL6 is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
