Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), resistin, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were linked previously to insulin resistance, while adiponectin was found to enhance insulin sensitivity, increase glucose transepithelial transport, lower glucose synthesis in the liver, and suppress IL-6 and TNF-α (Yamauchi and Kadowaki, 2008). Here, IL6 is linked to Insulin resistance.
