Local proliferation of macrophages in adipose tissue during obesity-induced inflammation
2014
Aims/hypothesis
Obesity is frequently associated with low-grade inflammation of adipose tissue (AT), and the increase in adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Macrophages have been regarded as post-mitotic, but recent observations have challenged this view. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that macrophages proliferate within AT in diet-induced obesity in mice and humans.
