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: 1.3 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: 2.6 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: 0.00079 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: 0.24 SJR: 0.429 SNIP: 0.287 CiteScore™:: 2.7 H-Index: 81

ABSTRACT

The epidemic of diabetes mellitus is worsening worldwide. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by inappropriate recurrent or persistent hyperglycemia. Numerous studies have demonstrated that hyperglycemia, the most significant predictor of poor clinical outcome in diabetes mellitus patients, can directly promote an inflammatory response and oxidative stress. Although there are various causes of DM, all eventually lead to absolute or relative insulin deficiency and death of pancreatic β-cells. Thus, insulin inevitably becomes the primary medication used to treat the disease and prevent diabetic complications in all DM patients. Interestingly, an emerging body of evidence suggests that insulin suppresses the inflammatory process, not only through preventing hyperglycemia but also by modulating key inflammatory molecules. In this review, we discuss the findings of studies done in vitro as well as clinical trials that have demonstrated an anti-inflammatory action of insulin and that have pointed to mechanisms responsible for this effect. Further, we discuss how the anti-inflammatory action of insulin bears on our current understanding of the pathophysiology and complications of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
