Insulin resistance is associated with a modest increase in inflammation in subcutaneous adipose tissue of moderately obese women.
Diabetologia. 2008; (12): 2303-8
We have previously described differences in adipose cell size distribution and expression of genes related to adipocyte differentiation in subcutaneous abdominal fat obtained from insulin-sensitive (IS) and -resistant (IR) persons, matched for degree of moderate obesity. To determine whether other biological properties also differ between IR and IS obese individuals, we quantified markers of inflammatory activity in adipose tissue from overweight IR and IS individuals.
