Mammalian survival depends on metabolizing nutrients, storing energy, and combating
infection. Complement activation in blood triggers energy‐depleting immune responses to …

BACKGROUND: The complement system is well known for its role in innate immunity via the
classical, the alternative and the lectin pathways, although recent investigations suggest …

Postprandial hyperlipidaemia is a common metabolic disturbance in atherosclerosis. During
the postprandial phase, chylomicrons and their remnants can penetrate the intact …

Obese individuals are characterized by a chronic, low-grade inflammatory state. Increased
levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, have been observed in …

OBJECTIVE: Hexacosanoic acid (C26: 0) is a saturated very long-chain fatty acid and high
levels of C26: 0 in red blood cells are reported to be closely related with risk factors of …

Obesity is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with adipose tissue macrophage
(ATM) activation. ATMs from lean mice contribute to tissue homeostasis by their M2‐oriented …

Background: Different measures of body fat composition may vary in their relations to
parameters of chronic inflammation. Methods: We assessed the relations of visceral (VAT) …

Background Obesity is associated with inflammation, but the role of lean mass and creatine
kinase (CK) on the inflammatory process is less known. We investigated the associations …

Macrophage accumulation in the adipose tissue and changes in their inflammatory
phenotype is a hallmark of obesity-induced inflammation, notably forming inflammatory …

Only few studies have been addressed to the presence and regulation of C-reactive protein
(CRP) gene expression in different districts of adipose tissue, and no study has investigated …
