Obesity leads to a host of pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Central to all of these pathologies is the concept that obesity produces chronic inflammation. Featuring contributions from international experts in the fields of adiposity, inflammation, adipokines, and pharmaconutrition, this book focuses on the effects of obesity on systemic inflammation. The text addresses the epidemiology of obesity-induced inflammation, the adipokine mediators that link adipose tissue to inflammation, the influence of hormones on adipose inflammation, and the roles of nutrients, lifestyles, and pharmacotherapy in reducing inflammation and obesity.
