Deskripsi

Murine models of obesity suggest that decreases in the adipose tissue regulatory T cell compartment may contribute to insulin resistance, but how this corresponds in the human clinical context is less well understood. Here the authors propose a role for interferon gamma in shrinking the adipose tissue regulatory T cell compartment seen in human obesity and assess the alterations seen during induction of dietary changes.
