How a fat cell’s immune response makes obesity worse
When obesity occurs, a person’s own fat cells can set off a complex inflammatory chain reaction that can further disrupt metabolism and weaken immune response–potentially placing people at higher risk of poor outcomes from a variety of diseases and infections,…
