Interaction Information:
Comment | Exposure to a high-fat diet and diet-induced obesity lead to a chronic inflammatory reaction, which is believed to be critical for the development of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. The expression of IL-6 and TNF-alpha, two major proinflammatory cytokines, was significantly enhanced in livers of wild-type mice on a chronic high-fat diet (HFD). Transgenic mice on HFD, however, still exhibited low levels of inflammatory markers, comparable to those seen in wild-type and transgenic mice on chow diet. |
