To examine the impact of malnutrition on other pro-inflammatory cytokines in T2DM, we measured the circulating levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (G-CSF, GM-CSF, MCP-1, MIP-1β, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-12p70 and IL-1β) in LBMI and NBMI individuals. The gene discussed is CSF3; the disease is nutritional deficiency disease.
