Abstract:
Obesity is associated with a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Immune cells accumulate in white adipose tissue (WAT). The vascular endothelium plays an interactive role in these infiltration and inflammatory processes. Mature and hypertrophic adipocytes are considered as the major adipogenic cell type secreting proinflammatory cytokines in WAT. In contrast, the proinflammatory capacity of preadipocytes and their role in endothelial cell activation have been neglected so far. To gain new i...     »
