Also, there was a significant positive correlation between serum levels of TNF-α with FBG (fasting blood glucose), creatinine, total cholesterol, LDL-C, HbA1c, and microalbumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) among the DN group (p = 0.042, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, 0.027, and 0.043, respectively). This evidence concerns the gene TNF and liver dysplastic nodule.
