Abstract excerpt
The metabolic inflammation (meta-inflammation) of obesity is characterized by proinflammatory macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue. Catalysis by deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) modifies the translation factor eIF5A to generate a hypusine (Hyp) residue. Hypusinated eIF5A (eIF5AHyp) controls the translation of mRNAs involved in inflammation, but its role in meta-inflammation has not been elucidated. Levels of...
