Chronic inflammation in fat plays a crucial role in the development of obesity-related insulin resistance
Insulin resistance arises from the inability of insulin to act normally in regulating nutrient metabolism in peripheral tissues. Increasing evidence from human population studie...
Adipose Expression of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α: Direct Role in Obesity-Linked Insulin Resistance
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been shown to have certain catabolic effects on fat cells and whole animals. An induction of TNF-α messenger RNA expression was observed in a...
Increased adipose tissue expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human obesity and insulin resistance.
Obesity is frequently associated with insulin resistance and abnormal glucose homeostasis. Recent studies in animal models have indicated that TNF-alpha plays an important role ...
Influence of TNF-α and IL-6 infusions on insulin sensitivity and expression of IL-18 in humans
Inflammation is associated with insulin resistance, and both tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 may affect glucose uptake. TNF induces insulin resistance, wher...
