Obesity is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Most
studies observe the effects of a high-fat diet (HFD) in 10-12 weeks. This work investigated …

OBJECTIVE: The present study was designed to investigate the effect of a high-fat diet
(HFD) on the inflammatory response of peritoneal macrophages. METHODS: Male Wistar …

The prolonged consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) leads to abnormal growth of the visceral
adipose tissue (VAT), increased macrophage infiltration, and altered secretion of biologically …

Obesity is associated with low-grade inflammation, triggered in adipose tissue, which may
occur due to an excess of SFA from the diet that can be recognised by Toll-like receptor-4 …

High-fat diets induce an expansion of the adipose tissue (aT) that can be characterized by
chronic low-grade inflammation. AT is an important source of adipokines and pro …

Background: We previously established that male Swiss mice (Mus musculus) receiving a
high-fat diet (HFD) during 8 weeks exhibit similar caloric ingestion and body weight (grams) …

Background: The modern dietary habit, which is rich in refined carbohydrates and saturated
fats, increases the risk of chronic diseases due to the proinflammatory effect of these …

The aim of the study was to determine, in rats of both sexes, the effect of HF diet feeding on
the expression of adipokines involved in inflammatory status and insulin sensitivity and on …

Background Obesity has been associated with a chronic low degree inflammatory response,
characterized by an increase of inflammatory adipocytokines like tumoral necrosis factor-α …

Chronic inflammation and increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) are key elements of the
metabolic syndrome. Both are considered to play a pathogenic role in the development of …
