Background: Obesity and metabolic syndrome are disorders that correlate with the activation
of pro-inflammatory pathways and cytokine production, to which Toll like receptors (TLR) …

BACKGROUND Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of transmembrane pattern recognition
receptors that are mainly expressed on immune cells. Recognition of various exogenous …

Monocytes have been used to assess immune dysfunction and disease. While mouse
models are a useful longitudinal analog, few researchers have assessed changes in mouse …

Obesity causes innate immune dysfunction, contributing to increased disease risk. Weight
loss from a combination of caloric restriction and exercise is the most effective treatment of …

The expression of monocyte cell-surface receptors represents one index of immune
dysfunction, which is common with aging. Although mouse models of aging are prevalent …

Objectives: There is a health disparity for obesity among Mexican Americans compared with
other racial/ethnic groups. In particular, Mexican American children who are obese are likely …

Although diet and exercise clearly have an influence on immune function, studies are scarce
on the effect caused by exercise and the consumption of a carbohydrate‐rich or fat‐rich diet …

Mouse experimental models of diet-induced weight gain are commonly used as analogs to
human obesity; however, a wide variety of feeding methods have been used and the most …

Diet-induced weight gain causes changes in adipose tissue that alter blood monocytes and
adipose tissue macrophages, increasing disease risk. The purpose of this study was to …

Obesity, which bring a great perplex to family and society, has significant contribution to the
risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other comorbidities. In past four decades, the …
