title: The role of inflamed adipose tissue in the insulin resistance.
abstract: In this article, we discuss inflammation associated with adipose tissue dysfunction as a potential link with obesity-related insulin resistance, and how obesity-related inflammatory components, such as immune cells, cytokines/chemokines and adipocytokines, induce obesity-related pathologies.
