Figure 3 Effects of a high-carbohydrate meal (non-cheese pizza) on plasma concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-{alpha}, IL-6) and adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1) in healthy subjects (open circles) and diabetic patients (filled circles). ICAM-1 = intercellular adhesion molecule-1; IL-6 = interleukin-6; TNF-{alpha} = tumor necrosis factor-{alpha}; VCAM-1 = vascular cell adhesion molecule-1.
