Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Study of some inflammatory markers in diabetic subjects selected from Igbo, Ika, Ijaw and Isoko tribes of Delta state, Nigeria. The Study Design followed a Case-control, observational study. The research was carried out in Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta State, in Febuary 2022. 100 subjects (20 diabetic and 5 non diabetic from each of the four tribes; age range; 28-74 years) Venous blood was collected for the assay of Fasting blood sugar (FBS), Ferritin, IL-6, C-reactive protein, Glycated haemoglobin (Hb1ac) and adiponectin. Results obtained were statistically analysed. Results from this study showed that the diabetic subjects from all the tribes had significantly raised levels of C-reactive protein, ferritin, IL-6, FBS and HbA1c compared to the control., indicating a derangement probably due to inflammation. IL-6 and ferretin levels in male for the studied population was significantly higher than in the female subjects.
