Complement C3 is a risk factor for the development of diabetes: a population-based cohort study.

TLDR
It is concluded that the risk of developing diabetes is related to levels of complement C3, and only C3 was significantly associated with diabetes development after further adjustments for potential confounders, including BMI, insulin, and other inflammatory markers.
Abstract
Cross-sectional studies have reported strong correlations between plasma levels of complement C3, insulin, and glucose. This prospective study explored whether elevated levels of C3, C4, and other inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins (ISPs; fibrinogen, orosomucoid, alpha1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and ceruloplasmin) are associated with the development of diabetes. Plasma proteins were measured in 2,815 nondiabetic healthy men, age 38-50 years, who were reexamined after a mean follow-up of 6.1 years. Diabetes development (n = 123) was studied in relation to baseline levels of plasma proteins. After adjusting for age, screening year, and glucose at baseline, the odds ratio (95% CI) for developing diabetes was 1.00, 2.4 (1.1-5.3), 2.9 (1.4-6.0), and 5.6 (2.8-10.9), respectively, for men with C3 in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quartiles (trend: P < 0.00001). Fibrinogen, haptoglobin, C4, and the number of elevated ISPs were also related to future diabetes in this model. Only C3 was significantly associated with diabetes development after further adjustments for potential confounders, including BMI, insulin, and other inflammatory markers. We concluded that the risk of developing diabetes is related to levels of complement C3.

Single-nuclei analysis reveals depot-specific transcriptional heterogeneity and depot-specific cell types in adipose tissue of dairy cows

TL;DR: There was a substantial contrast between depots for gene expression of complement cascade, which were greatly expressed by VAT cell subtypes compared to SAT, indicating a pro-inflammatory profile in VAT.

Adherence to Lifestyle Recommendations Linked to Innate Immunity and Lipoprotein Metabolism: A Cross-Sectional Comparison Using Untargeted Proteomics

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used untargeted proteomics to compare blood proteomic profiles in two groups of adults that differed widely in lifestyle habits and found that a relatively small number of proteins are associated with good lifestyle habits.

TL;DR: In this article , a large-scale network-based quantitative approach employing unbiased methods to discover abnormally amplified genes in both Type 2 Diabetes and breast cancer, to solve these issues was performed.

Serum complement C3 has a stronger association with insulin resistance than high sensitive C-reactive protein in non-diabetic Chinese

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper compared the association of complement C3 (C3) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with insulin resistance.

Complement factors D and C3 cross-sectionally associate with arterial stiffness, but not independently of metabolic risk factors: The Maastricht Study

TL;DR: The data suggest that a possible causal pathway starting from alternative complement activation may via hypertension and T2D contribute to greater arterial stiffness, which is not independent of T 2D and other metabolic risk factors.

TL;DR: The correlation of the model's estimates with patient data accords with the hypothesis that basal glucose and insulin interactions are largely determined by a simple feed back loop.

TL;DR: Elevated levels of CRP and IL-6 predict the development of type 2 DM, and data support a possible role for inflammation in diabetogenesis.

TL;DR: The data suggest that adipose tissue is an important determinant of a low level, chronic inflammatory state as reflected by levels of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and C-reactive protein, and that infection with H pylori, C pneumoniae, and cytomegalovirus is not.

TL;DR: Chronic inflammation emerges as a new risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes; PAI-1 predicts type 1 diabetes independent of insulin resistance and other known risk factors for diabetes.

Is Type II diabetes mellitus a disease of the innate immune system

TL;DR: It is suggested that in Type II diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance long-term lifestyle and environmental stimulants, probably in those with an innately hypersensitive acute-phase response, produce disease instead of repair.
