Degraded chemerin, calculated by subtracting the sum of the chemerin forms (chem163S, chem158K, chem[157S+156F], and chem155A) from total chemerin, was also significantly higher in T2D (36 ± 7.4 ng/mL) participants than in IS (10 ± 2.7 ng/mL, p = 0.0001), IM (2.4 ± 1.1 ng/mL, p < 0.0001), and IR (14 ± 2.9 ng/mL, p = 0.0012) participants (Figure 5B and Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene RARRES2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
