Abstract

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) expression is reduced in islets of patients with type 2 diabetes. 70 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to treatment with anakinra (IL-1Ra) or placebo for 13 weeks. Following treatment glycated hemoglobin was 0.46 percent lower, C-peptide secretion was enhanced, and systemic IL-6 and C-reactive protein levels were reduced in the anakinra group compared to the placebo group. Insulin resistance remained unchanged. Blocking IL-1 activity improved glycemia and b-cell secretory function and reduced markers of systemic inflammation.
