Identification of metabolically activated macrophages in human adipose tissue and their possible role in preadipocyte differentiation.

Abstract excerpt

Dyslipidemia can modify the function and phenotype of adipose tissue macrophages. Accumulated evidence suggests that metabolically activated (MMe) macrophages perform both detrimental and beneficial functions in adipose tissue. However, no studies evaluating their role in adipogenesis have been performed. Here, we combine in vitro assays with flow cytometry to characterize the adipose tissue macrophage...
