Obesity can be described as a "new world syndrome", characterized by a low-grade inflammation. This systemic low-grade inflammation is mainly due to the systemic endotoxemia, which occurs in consequence of increased gut permeability, due to gut microbiota alterations and consequently increased leakage of endotoxins, such as lipopolysaccharide to the systemic circulation. Moreover, differe…
Insulin resistance due to obesity is linked to inflammation in several tissues. Although to be a lymphoid tissue, the intestine recognizes and secretes a variety of molecules, but the role of intestinal lamina propria cells in the development of obesity and whether the activation of these cells regulates the development of insulin resistance is still unknown. It is known that during obesi…
Obesity and metabolic syndrome are public health problems and influence the outcome of various immune diseases, besides acting as a risk factor for the severity of sepsis. The activation of innate immunity may lead to inflammation of low intensity in obesity by activation of endothelial cells, adipocytes and macrophages and synthesis of TNF-alfa, insulin resistance, and is also linked to …
A major cause of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is impaired insulin action in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver. RBP4 levels are elevated in many insulin-resistant states in mice and humans and the manipulation of the levels of RBP4 in the serum affects insulin responses. Emerging evidence suggests a possible role for pro-inflammatory pathways in RBP4-induced insulin resistance. Obesity is…
