Abstract: In analyses of the entire study population and in the German and Korean subgroups, irisin and IL-15 serum concentrations were not significantly different between T2D patients with or without evidence for diabetic retinopathy (data not shown). In conclusion, our data suggest that neither irisin nor IL-15 serum concentrations reflect cardiometabolic risk factors or T2D complications in two independent cohorts from Korea and Germany.
