Plasma IP-10 levels were significantly higher in patients with NAFLD alone (median (interquartile range): 369.44 (309.30–418.97) pg/mL) and in those with incident diabetes (418.99 (330.73–526.04) pg/mL) than in control subjects (293.37 (214.10–331.57) pg/mL) (P < 0.001) (Fig. 2A). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and diabetes mellitus.
