Research indicates that individuals with prediabetes exhibit elevated levels of multiple inflammatory markers, including resistin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), TNF-α, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), in their serum along with high fasting blood glucose levels. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is prediabetes syndrome.
