CRP and type 2 diabetes mellitus: In both in recent-onset and long-term T2D, associations between cardiac measures and inflammatory markers highlight changes in proinflammatory cytokines like interleukin-6 [10–12], TNF-α [13], and IL-18 [10, 14], as well as intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 [14, 15], and C-reactive protein (CRP) [10, 14] as potential contenders for investigating modulation of neurocardiac function.
