Adipokines, Inflammation, and Metabolic Diseases

This cluster of papers explores the intricate relationship between inflammation and obesity, focusing on the impact of chronic inflammation in adipose tissue on the development of obesity-related metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. The role of adipokines, macrophage accumulation, and C-reactive protein in linking inflammation to metabolic syndrome is also extensively studied.
