II Scientific Meeting of Immunometabolism

Chronic, low grade inflammation has been observed during the development and maintenance of obesity. Our group has work on the true nature of the inflammatory milieu in adipose tissue. Our main question lays on: why does adipose tissue become inflamed, and what is the physiological aspect involved in adipose inflammation upon nutrient overload? We, therefore, are interested to study the involvement of inflammatory mediators in the control of metabolic homeostasis.
