Adaptive Immune Response in Visceral and Subcutaneous Fat: Role in Human Insulin Resistance
The proposed study is designed to test the hypothesis that in human obesity, the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory T cells in fat tissue is in fact related to macrophage phenotype and insulin resistance, and how it is…
