Early suppression of adipocyte lipid turnover induces immunometabolic modulation in cancer cachexia syndrome.

Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by body weight loss, atrophy of adipose tissue (AT) and systemic inflammation. However, there is limited information regarding the mechanisms of immunometabolic response in AT from cancer cachexia. Male Wistar rats were inoculated with 2 × 10 of Walker 256 tumor cells [tumor bearing (TB) rats].
