The CD4+ T cell regulatory network mediates inflammatory responses during acute hyperinsulinemia: a simulation study

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Obesity is frequently linked to insulin resistance, high insulin levels, chronic inflammation, and alterations in the behaviour of CD4+ T cells. Despite the biomedical importance of this condition, the system-level mechanisms that alter CD4+ T cell differentiation and plasticity are not well understood. RESULTS: We model how hyperinsulinemia alters the dynamics of the CD4+ T regulatory network, and...
