The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.6 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 2.2 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00058 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.345 SNIP: 0.46 CiteScore™:: 2.5 H-Index: 67

ABSTRACT

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a well-known endocrine disorder affecting a significant number of individuals across the globe. Risk factors such as inflammation, obesity, high blood glucose level, cardiovascular disease, and genetic alteration are believed to be the reason for T2DM onset. The current study was intended to envisage the possible association between polymorphisms in the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) promoter and IL-1β serum levels in Saudi T2DM patients. Biochemical parameters such as fasting blood glucose (FBS), percentage glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAic), and lipid profile were measured spectrophotometrically. Serum insulin levels were measured using an immunochemistry analyzer. The commercial enzyme-linked immune assay (ELISA) kit was used to estimate the level of IL-1β in the serum samples. The Sanger sequencing method was adopted to determine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-1β promoter. We observed a significant (P < 0.001) elevation in FBS, Hb1Ac, insulin, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in T2DM patients compared with control individuals. Similarly, IL-1β level were found to be increased by 221% in T2DM patients compared with controls. A nonsignificant genotypic association was observed in the IL-1β gene at the -511C/T and -31C/T positions in T2DM patients compared with control individuals. However, a significant association (P < 0.05) was observed at the allelic level. Further studies on larger sample sizes are recommended to establish the exact role of IL-1β polymorphism in the pathogenesis of T2DM and its genetic risk.
