[Cross-talk between arteriosclerotic diseases and allergic inflammation].
Arteriosclerosis and allergy are increasingly common diseases. The pathogeneses are both based on changes in lifestyle and chronic inflammation. Herein we discuss cross talk between the two seemingly unrelated diseases, focusing on obesity and various related molecules, including adipokines, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), C reactive protein (CRP), and soluble adhesion molecules.
