Inflammation in fat tissue helps prevent metabolic disease

[Northerner]

Chronic tissue inflammation is typically associated with obesity and metabolic disease, but new research now finds that a level of “healthy” inflammation is necessary to prevent metabolic diseases, such as fatty liver. "This finding may explain in part why anti-inflammatory medicines have so far not been successful as anti-diabetic treatments. The effects of interventions that promote local low-level inflammation in fat tissue remain to be determined," researchers said.
