Abstract
) and negatively with hsCRP concentrations at both sampling (r = - 0.22, P = 0.0001) and study follow-up (β = - 0.19, P = 0.001). Thus, we suggest that the putative effect of IPA on lowering T2D risk might be mediated by the interplay between dietary fiber intake and inflammation or by direct effect of IPA on β-cell function.
