AI Article Synopsis

  • Metabolic and endocrine issues in white adipose tissue (WAT) are connected to inflammation, which is a major cause of insulin resistance (IR).
  • New research suggests that there are also non-inflammatory factors contributing to IR in WAT, which could potentially initiate inflammation.
  • These findings open up new strategies for addressing IR by focusing on these non-inflammatory mechanisms rather than just inflammation itself.

Article Abstract

Metabolic and endocrine dysfunction of white adipose tissue (WAT) is linked to inflammation, which has been considered a key mechanism of insulin resistance (IR). However, recent studies revealed non-inflammatory mechanisms of IR in WAT, which may trigger inflammation and could be developed as a novel strategy to counteract IR.
