PPARs, Obesity, and Inflammation.
TLDR
The role of PPARs in obesity-induced inflammation specifically in adipose tissue, liver, and the vascular wall is addressed, with a growing recognition that obesity represents a state of chronic low-level inflammation.Abstract:
The worldwide prevalence of obesity and related metabolic disorders is rising rapidly, increasing the burden on our healthcare system. Obesity is often accompanied by excess fat storage in tissues other than adipose tissue, including liver and skeletal muscle, which may lead to local insulin resistance and may stimulate inflammation, as in steatohepatitis. In addition, obesity changes the morphology and composition of adipose tissue, leading to changes in protein production and secretion. Some of these secreted proteins, including several proinflammatory mediators, may be produced by macrophages resident in the adipose tissue. The changes in inflammatory status of adipose tissue and liver with obesity feed a growing recognition that obesity represents a state of chronic low-level inflammation. Various molecular mechanisms have been implicated in obesity-induced inflammation, some of which are modulated by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). PPARs are ligand-activated transcription factors involved in the regulation of numerous biological processes, including lipid and glucose metabolism, and overall energy homeostasis. Importantly, PPARs also modulate the inflammatory response, which makes them an interesting therapeutic target to mitigate obesity-induced inflammation and its consequences. This review will address the role of PPARs in obesity-induced inflammation specifically in adipose tissue, liver, and the vascular wall.read more

Dietary Capsaicin Reduces Obesity‐induced Insulin Resistance and Hepatic Steatosis in Obese Mice Fed a High‐fat Diet
TL;DR: The data suggest that dietary capsaicin may reduce obesity‐induced glucose intolerance by not only suppressing inflammatory responses but also enhancing fatty acid oxidation in adipose tissue and/or liver, both of which are important peripheral tissues affecting insulin resistance.

TL;DR: It is proposed that obesity-related insulin resistance is, at least in part, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated in adipose tissue, and that macrophage-related inflammatory activities may contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity-induced insulin resistance.

TL;DR: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with an increased risk of all-cause death, probably because of complications of insulin resistance such as vascular disease, as well as due to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, which occurs in a minority of patients.
