Type 2 diabetes and mental disorders; a plausible link with inflammation.

Type 2 diabetes and mental disorders; a plausible link with inflammation. Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2016 Nov 30;62(13):71-77 Authors: Hajebrahimi B, Kiamanesh A, Asgharnejad Farid AA, Asadikaram G Abstract Mental disorders including depression and anxiety are the prevalent human diseases which are associated with several metabolic and non-metabolic diseases. Recent investigations demonstrated that the mental disorders can be considered as the potential inducers/stimulators of chronic inflammation. Based on the fact that chronic inflammation is a main cause of human diseases, hence, a hypothesis has been raised to explore the interaction between mental disorders and inflammation related metabolic diseases. Type 2 diabetes (T2D), as a complicated metabolic disorder, is associated with inflammation and also mental disorders. Accordingly, it has been hypothesized that depression and anxiety, as mental disorders may be the inducers/stimulators of inflammation in the patients suffering from T2D. This review article collected recent information regarding the roles of mental disorders on the chronic inflammation in the T2D patients. PMID: 28040067 [PubMed - in process]
