Inflammatory mediators have the potential to impact a surprising range of diseases,
including obesity and its associated metabolic syndrome. In this paper, we show that the …

The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-17 (also known as IL-17) has been associated
with induction of tissue inflammation. Obese individuals exhibit many symptoms of chronic …

IL-17 is an inflammatory cytokine associated with anti-microbial host defense and
pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Obesity is considered to be an inflammatory …

The immune system is closely linked to human metabolic diseases. Serum levels of IL-6
increase with obesity and insulin resistance. Not only does IL-6 decrease the insulin …

Overnutrition causes obesity, a global health problem without any effective therapy. Obesity
is characterized by low-grade inflammation, which predisposes individuals to metabolic …

Proinflammatory cytokines are critically involved in the alteration of adipose tissue biology
leading to deterioration of glucose homeostasis in obesity. Here we show a pronounced …

Obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation. Indeed, adipose tissues (AT) in
obese individuals are the former site of progressive infiltration by pro-inflammatory immune …

An alarming global rise in the prevalence of obesity and its contribution to the development
of chronic diseases is a serious health concern. Recently, obesity has been described as a …

Objective: IL-15 decreases lipid deposition in preadipocytes and decreases the mass of
white adipose tissue in rats, indicating that IL-15 may take part in regulating this tissue. IL-15 …

Obesity and associated metabolic diseases are characterized by a chronic low-grade
inflammatory state with the infiltration of many inflammatory cells, especially macrophages …
