Adipose tissue is less responsive to food restriction anti-inflammatory effects than liver, muscle, and brain in mice

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (1), 2019
High caloric intake promotes chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic diseases such as type-2 diabetes, which may be prevented by food restriction (FR). The effect of FR on expression of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes in adipose tissue, liver, muscle, and brain was compared. Ma...
