The Intracellular Growth of M. tuberculosis Is More Associated with High Glucose Levels Than with Impaired Responses of Monocytes from T2D Patients.

In conclusion, HG decreased IL-8 production and the intracellular growth control of M. tuberculosis by monocytes, supporting the hypothesis that hyperglycemia plays an important role in the impaired immune responses to M. tuberculosis in patients with T2D. PMID: 31815150 [PubMed - in process]
