The systemic inflammation observed in obesity is thought to be mainly derived from the stroma–vascular fraction of adipose tissue due to macrophage-infiltration of AT in obesity. Macrophages are thought to be recruited and trapped in AT by release of chemoattractant-molecules such as monocyte-chemoattractant-protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage-migration-inhibitory-fa...
