Background: Obesity is associated with an increased prevalence and severity of infections.
The mechanism (s) responsible for the increased risk of infections is unclear. We evaluated …

Recent studies have shown that immune system cells take an active part in the regulation of
metabolic homeostasis. Disruption of the interaction between the immune system and …

Obesity has emerged as a leading global health concern. It is characterized by chronic low-
grade inflammation, which impairs insulin signaling, lipid metabolism and immune function …

on obesity and immune functions in patients who are critically ill with pandemic influenza
H1N1 infection. Changes in active crosstalk between adipocytes, adipokines, and immune …

Obesity is a condition likely associated with several dysmetabolic conditions or worsening of
cardiovascular and other chronic disturbances. A key role in this mechanism seem to be …

The immune system has previously been demonstrated to be associated with the
pathophysiological development of metabolic abnormalities. However, the mechanisms …

Obesity is common in women and is associated with a number of adverse health outcomes
including cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, and cancer. We explore the …

The fields of immunology and metabolism are rapidly converging on adipose tissue. During
obesity, many immune cells infiltrate or populate in adipose tissue and promote a low-grade …

Although the pathological role of the immune system in several metabolic disorders,
including type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and Addison's disease, has long been recognized …

Obesity is known to associate with low‐grade, sustained, systemic inflammation, which is
considered to be a key pathological basis for obesity‐associated diseases such as diabetes …
