IL1B and type 2 diabetes mellitus: In disagreement with these studies, other studies have demonstrated that (i) severe hypercholesterolemia in mice decreases IFN-gamma response and induces IL-10 response [64]; (ii) PBMCs incubated in high glucose concentrations produced higher levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6, while IFN-gamma did not change [65]; (iii) studies with whole blood or PBMCs of T2D patients with and without tuberculosis reported decrease in IFN-gamma production [66–68].
