The Effect of the Interleukin‐1 Cytokine Family Members IL‐1F6 and IL‐1F8 on Adipocyte Differentiation
18 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Obesity is characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation originating from expanding adipose tissue. In the present study, we examined the adipogenic expression levels of IL-1F6 and IL-1F8, both members of the IL-1 family of cytokines, and their effects on adipose tissue gene expression. Although IL-1F6 is primarily present in adipose tissue resident macrophages and induced by inflammation, IL-1F8 is absent....
