This study aims to examine the effect of lifestyle intervention on pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators in 79 obese Latino youth with prediabetes as compared to a usual care control group of 38 obesity- and glycemia-matched Latino youth. Understanding how changes in pro- and anti-inflammatory markers relate to changes in beta-cell function is important to identify specific mechanisms that can be targeted in future studies.
