Clinical trials: Type 2 Inflammatory Disorders
Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity
Examination of the Anti-inflammatory and Insulin Sensitizing Properties of Doxycycline in Humans
Obesity is a heightened state of inflammation in which production of cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) result in loss of function of insulin receptors and insulin resistance.
