Obesity, diabetes and inflammation : molecular mechanisms and clinical management / Dimiter Avtanski, Leonid Poretsky, editors.

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that affects half a billion people. It has been estimated that, if current trends continue, by 2050, 60% of men and 50% of women worldwide will be obese. Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of white adipose tissue caused by overweight and obesity lead to a chronic inflammator...
