With the exception of CCL-2 (p = 0.09), differences in TNF-α (p < 0.0001), hs-CRP (p < 0.05), IL-6 (p < 0.05) and adiponectin remained significant after excluding subjects with type 2 diabetes (n = 7) from the NASH cohort (Figure S3). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
