TNF and prediabetes syndrome: Furthermore, within prediabetes, the strongest inverse correlations between non-α-tocopherols and TNF-α were observed in impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (r = −0.42 for β-/γ-tocopherol, r = −0.55 for δ-tocopherol, p < 0.01), while such correlations were significantly attenuated in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and IFG+IGT.
