Insulin Resistance, Inflammation, and Obesity: Role of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (orCCL2) in the Regulation of Metabolism

Figure 1

The inflammatory process and cellular metabolic control are convergent at multiple levels. Overnutrition, inactivity, old age, or a combination of factors triggers a systemic chronic inflammation associated with immune response which consists of a complex cellular adaptation in which chemokines play a crucial role.
