TNF and Insulin resistance: There is a significant increase in the serum tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (both p < 0.001), blood malondialdehyde—thiobarbituric acid adducts (MDA-TBA2) (p < 0.001), serum glucose (p < 0.01), insulin concentration, and the homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index (both p < 0.001), serum with very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and triacylglycerol (TAG) (both p < 0.001).
