Not Only Glycaemic But Also Other Metabolic Factors Affect T Regulatory Cell Counts and Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels in Women with Type 1 Diabetes

Figure 10

(a–c) T regulatory cells and IL-6. Higher Treg cell count correlated with higher level of proinflammatory cytokine IL-6. This relationship reached significance in the case of CD127^low Treg cells (, ) and CD127^lowFoxP3⁺ Treg cells (, ). The same trend with a borderline significance was observed for FoxP3⁺ Treg cells (, ). (a) CD127^low Treg cells (% from CD4⁺cells). (b) FoxP3⁺ Treg cells (% from CD4⁺cells). (c) CD127^lowFoxP3⁺ Treg cells (% from CD4⁺cells).
