Abstract:
Obesity has been a world-wide growing health problem in children and adolescents,insulin resistance plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated complications,the mechanism is still unknown.There is growing evidence that obesity is associated with low-grade inflammation in youth.The onset of low-grade inflammation in obesity may be associated with the inflammatory cytokine secreted by adipose tissue,local Monocyte/Macrophage system and role of oxidative stress.The study of inflammatory cytokines in pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance will help to develop new treatment strategies to prevent obesity and obesity-associated complications.
