While we reported previously that the secretion of GRO and IL8 was elevated from T2D-MT (Ciaraldi et al., 2016), and they both also tended to be higher with the current cohort, these differences did not attain statistical significance (p = 0.079 and 0.105, respectively), Neither Wnt3a nor Wnt4 could be detected in CM. Here, CXCL8 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
