Fat Linked To Inflammation In The Body

A study by University of Buffalo found that certain blood cells exist in a proinflammatory state in obese persons. According to Paresh Dandona, M.D., Ph.D., head of UB’s Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, “These cells are creating a lot of nuisance in the obese. They enter the artery and set up atherosclerosis. They activate fat cells to produce more proinflammatory factors. They interfere with insulin signaling, causing insulin resistance. They even enter the brain.”

We all know that being obese puts you at a much increased risk for many diseases, and chronic inflammation in the body caused by the fat is one of the reasons why.
