Interleukin-27 signaling resists obesity by promoting the accumulation of Treg cells in visceral adipose tissue.

The prevalence of obesity and its associated metabolic disorders has emerged as one of the most significant health threats worldwide. The visceral adipose tissue regulatory T cells (VAT Treg) play an essential role in maintaining homeostasis and preventing obesity mainly by secreting Interleikin-10 (IL-10) and Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β). However, the mechanism that regulates VAT Treg quantity and function remains unclear.
