Novel Long Noncoding RNA, Macrophage Inflammation-Suppressing Transcript ( MIST ), Regulates Macrophage Activation During Obesity
13 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Objective: Systemic low-grade inflammation associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome is a strong risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus and associated cardiovascular complications. This inflammatory state is caused by release of proinflammatory cytokines by macrophages, especially in adipose tissue.
